Okavango Explorers Camp is a brand-new Explorer Collection safari camp located in the southwestern region of Botswana’s private Selinda Reserve.
The camp's location is a unique combination of two iconic ecosystems at the intersection of the upper Okavango Delta water system and the famed Selinda Spillway. This area may be new to guests but has been known to us for many years as one teeming with wildlife.
The 130,000-hectare Selinda Reserve in northern Botswana is a prime predator and elephant habitat. This new, handpicked location offers access to some of the highest concentrations of wildlife in the region, along the southernmost section of Selinda Spillway. Lion, leopard and wild dogs hunt these parts regularly. There are good densities of giraffe, buffalo and exciting and now rare antelope like roan, sable and eland. At the peak of the dry season in late September, the Selinda Reserve has been documented to be home to over 9,000 elephants concentrated along this river system. For lovers of elephants, this is the place to be in the dry season. There is phenomenal birdlife in this area for those looking for some ‘lifers’.
Okavango Explorers Camp sleeps a maximum of 12 guests sharing and recreates a safari experience reminiscent of exploring the unknown African hinterland in a 1920’s style. The camp exudes a spirit of the romance of yesteryear whilst ensuring that adventure and discovery are an essential part of the journey.
Enjoy moments where wildlife congregates along the Selinda Spillway to drink and marvel at the setting of the African sun across wildlife-filled plains. The safari experiences include wildlife viewing drives, canoeing and walking because Okavango Explorers Camp is in one of the most remote parts of this private reserve.
Okavango Explorers Camp is the perfect safari camp to combine with its fellow Explorer-Collection safari camps, Selinda Explorers and Duba Explorers Camps. This camp is ideal for friends or families wanting to take the whole camp for extended stays and to make it their own.
The focus of your stay is centred around exploration and adventure. As such, a large portion of the wildlife viewing activities involve drives in our specially adapted vehicles, walking with some canoeing on the Selinda Spillway as it enters the Selinda Reserve from the west, being fed from the upper fringes of the Okavango Delta.
Okavango Explorers Camp welcomes guests from the 1st of July 2022.
