Zarafa Camp
Designed by famous wildlife filmmakers Beverly and Derek Joubert, and offering a truly authentic safari experience, Zarafa Camp was created to place guests at the heart of the wilderness for exceptional game viewing.
The camp is found in the private Selinda Reserve in Northern Botswana, in a unique location between the Okavango Delta and Chobe/Savuti corridors, and is home to incredible herds of elephant and buffalo as well as lion and the rare African wild dog. Each of the 4 spacious and luxurious tented suites overlooks the rich Zibadianja Lagoon and are beautifully furnished with romantic copper baths. Watch the wildlife pass by from your private plunge pool, or experience closer encounters on a lagoon cruise. Whatever you choose, expect the perfect balance of luxury and adventure at this exceptional camp.
