Selinda Camp

Premium An extremely luxurious lodge or permanent tented camp (five-star) with superb cuisine and excellent service, swimming pool and, many of them, with a private “plunge” pool (small swimming pool) for each chalet or tent. Lodges and chalets are air-conditioned, while the tents may be air-conditioned or fan-cooled.

Selinda Camp is inspired by the elements of water, air, earth and fire and architecturally designed to be an intimate experience with only three luxurious tents. Built under thatch, each tent has open views of the Selinda spillway and floodplains, a shady veranda with private plunge pool, decadent en suite bathroom with a flush toilet, enormous bathtub and a shower under the open African sky. The main area overlooks the floodplains and incorporates dining and lounge facilities. Dinner is a gourmet delight with wines chosen to enhance the main course.

Activities include early morning game drives aboard 4x4 Land Cruisers, followed by an open-air "brunch". There is sufficient time to relax by the plunge pool or siesta before afternoon game drives, with sundowners, continuing into a night drive with spotlights. Bush dinners maybe arranged. Short walks from camp or on drives can also be taken. During high water levels of late-May to early October, flat bottom boat rides are offered.
