Is the Okavango Explorers Camp for Me?
Okavango Explorers Camp is a brand-new Explorer Collection safari camp located in the southwest of Botswana’s private Selinda Reserve.
At the intersection of the upper Okavango Delta water system and the famed Selinda Spillway, the camp’s location is a unique combination of two iconic ecosystems. 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 location has been handpicked for its access to some of the highest concentrations of wildlife in the region, along the southernmost section of Selinda Spillway.
Lions, leopards, 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. There is phenomenal birdlife in this area for those looking for some ‘lifers’.
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.
