Where conservation meets opulence in the heart of the Selinda Reserve
Zarafa Camp is the very definition of exclusive safari elegance. Located in Botswana’s pristine Selinda Reserve, where the Linyanti and Zibadianja systems converge, this Relais & Châteaux property offers just four ultra-luxurious canvas suites, each thoughtfully designed with a vintage explorer’s spirit and a deep commitment to sustainability. Constructed entirely from reclaimed wood and canvas, Zarafa blends authenticity and comfort with environmental purpose.
Each suite is an expansive sanctuary complete with a private plunge pool, copper soaking tub, and sweeping views over the floodplains. Guests are equipped with professional camera gear for capturing the reserve’s extraordinary wildlife — from massive herds of elephant to lions, leopards, and the occasional pack of wild dogs. Every detail is intentional, from the brass accents and leather trunks to the personalized service and tailor-made experiences.
Evenings at Zarafa are nothing short of magical — sundowners by the firepit, candlelit dinners beneath the stars, and the immersive stillness that only remote Africa can offer. For travelers seeking refined intimacy and powerful connection to nature, Zarafa stands among the most remarkable camps on the continent.
