The sky slowly lightens and then turns dark orange, with groves of magnificent borassus palms thrown sharply into silhouette against the onset of dawn… Sunrise at Selinda Camp is nothing less than spectacular and to be savoured as only life-changing memories can.Set in one of the most pristine wilderness areas left on our planet, the Selinda Camp rests on the banks of the eastern Selinda Spillway in northern Botswana’s startlingly beautiful and remote 320,000-acre Selinda Reserve.
Designed with the elements in mind, Selinda Camp pays homage first and foremost to water, with splashes of blue and a crystal-clear swimming pool offering views over the equally immaculate Selinda Spillway. The billowing silks, which adorn the ceilings of the lounge area, are a tribute to air, and the afternoon breezes that ripple the endless sea of grasses. Earth is represented in the cornucopia of home-grown meals lovingly prepared in our kitchens and the bright flames of our evening fire complete the ethos of being in harmony with nature.
Rooms
Reached by a sandy and well-lit path, Selinda Camp's nine tented chalets are constructed of dark wood, with canvas walls under a canvas-and-thatch roof. Steps lead up to a deck with two chairs and a table, and picturesque views over the floodplain. Inside, both the bedroom and bathroom are fully enclosed and insect-proofed by a mixture of canvas and mesh. In front of the beds in each of Selinda’s chalets are two very comfortable rattan chairs, and a desk topped with miniature decanters of port and sherry and both filtered water and ice. There’s a tea and coffee caddy, too, with a hot water Thermos bought to the room nightly or on request.
