Hotels Own Introduction
A Handcrafted Safari Experience
Selinda Camp is a masterpiece in craftsmanship, offering an intimate luxury safari experience on the banks of Botswana’s Selinda Spillway, where it meets the Linyanti River. This remote location captures the essence of Africa, surrounded by one of the last untouched wilderness areas on the planet.
Design Rooted in Nature
Nestled among the trees, Selinda Camp is inspired by the five elements: Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, and Metal. This harmonious design creates a natural balance that enhances the connection between the camp and its surroundings.
Visionary Dereck Joubert designed the camp to offer a true indoor/outdoor safari experience, with a special tribute to elephants. Guests are greeted by life-sized elephant skull sculptures upon entering the main area, paying homage to Joubert’s late brother, Keith Joubert, whose art inspired the camp’s design.
Luxury in Every Suite
With only three exclusive suites, Selinda Camp redefines luxury in the African wilderness. Each suite features a private open-air verandah and plunge pool, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Inside, guests will find luxurious brass bathtubs, double vanities, and indoor showers. The suites are equipped with air conditioning for comfort, as well as a writing desk, coffee station, and ample wardrobe space.
Relaxation and Wellness
For ultimate relaxation, Selinda Camp offers a private spa where guests can enjoy a variety of treatments, either in the spa area or in the privacy of their suite.
Incredible Wildlife Encounters
The 130,000-hectare Selinda Reserve is home to large herds of elephants, the famous Selinda pack of African wild dogs, and the renowned Selinda lion pride featured in the National Geographic film “Birth of a Pride” by Dereck and Beverly Joubert. Guests are invited to experience Botswana’s wildlife up close in one of the most pristine ecosystems in the world.
Selinda Camp is proud to be a member of Relais & Châteaux, a symbol of luxury, sustainability, and world-class safari hospitality.
