Okavango Explorers Camp is an intimate 6 tent camp situated in the southwest of Botswana’s private Selinda Reserve at the intersection of the upper Okavango Delta water system and the famed Selinda Spillway. The camp is styled after the explorer camps of the 1920s and is designed to be used in combination with the likes of Selinda Explorers and Duba Explorers. The focus is on adventure and exploration in this stunning location where the wildlife concentrations are astounding.
The camp is perfect for those seeking a wilderness experience, in a traditional safari camp, but still wish to experience some luxury and comfort. The 6 canvas tents each have netted windows, a comfortable bed with mosquito net, solar-powered electric lights, and an outside sitting area with director’s chairs - perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or reading with a view. The en-suite is a canvas-walled, open-air bathroom at the back of the tent with a 200-litre bucket shower, flush toilet and an explorers’ style basin with hot and cold water supplied. The tent is furnished with campaign-style furniture, vintage storage trunks, an antique-style fan, and a writing desk. The explorer-styled main area is an open-sided tent with a communal dining table, bar, and lounge. You will dine either in the dining tent or under the stars. It’s an unpretentious camp with a dedicated team passionate about providing an authentic wilderness experience.
