An intimate Réserve-Collection camp on the banks of the Selinda Spillway as it meets the Linyanti system. The main camp holds just three lavish tented suites, each with a private plunge pool, and there’s a separate two-bedroom Selinda Suite (with private guide/chef/butler). Guiding focuses on big predators, elephants and wild dogs across the 130,000-ha Selinda Reserve, with boating/mokoro only when water is present (about 6 monhts a year).

Activities
Day & (seasonal) night drives, boating & mokoro when water allows, guided walks, catch-and-release fishing (seasonal), photographic hides.

Our Favorite Rooms

All suites feature a plunge pool, mosquito-netted king/twin beds, lounge, indoor/outdoor shower, and a shaded deck. For families or two couples, the Selinda Suite delivers space and private staff + vehicle.

Dining

Great Plains camps are known for interactive kitchens that become a social hub. Menus have a plant-forward influence (the founders are plant-based) but always include quality proteins; expect refined bush cuisine, private deck dinners and thoughtful cellar pairings.

Packing Tips

Neutral layers for cool winter dawns (Jun–Aug), a light rain shell (Nov–Mar), polarized sunglasses, wide-brim hat, swimsuit (plunge pool), soft daypack, and a soft duffel that meets bush-flight rules.

Insider Tips

Plan 3 night and ask guides to work the Spillway edges at first/last light for cats. In drier months, double-down on long land drives and photographic hides. When water rises, request a boat in/drive back combo for variety. Private heli flips over the Spillway are spectacular.
