Game drives
The Selinda Suite offers game drives throughout the day focusing primarily on early morning and afternoon and early evening wildlife viewing drives, but full day drives are common if guests prefer.
Guided walks
If stretching one’s legs and getting a feel for Africa by foot is the guest’s preference, then it’s possible to arrange morning walks.
Boating
Selinda is primarily a land-based activity camp; however, boating is possible on the Selinda Spillway in one of the camp’s powerboats, water level dependent.
Fishing
You can toss the bait with some rod/reel fishing from March to December each year, water level dependent.

Overview
Set in one of the most pristine wilderness areas left on our planet, Selinda Camp rests on the banks of the Selinda Spillway, as it enters the Linyanti River. The private 130,000-hectare Selinda Reserve boasts elephants by the thousands, regular sightings of the Selinda pack of African wild dogs as well as the famous Selinda Lion Pride recently feature in the National Geographic film “Birth of a Pride” by Dereck and Beverly Joubert. The area has a sense of remoteness, a true spirit of Africa, and is a great example of Botswana bush embodying a variety of species and rare animals.
The 2-bdroomed Selinda Suite operates independently from the other 3 guest suites, with your own private vehicle, safari guide, chef, manager/butler and entrance to the suite – although you have the option of socializing with other guests if you wish.
