Selinda Camp
Staying in Botswana for the next stop, the Journaling Safari 2010 moves on to Selinda Camp. Bill and his group will be staying for one night at Selinda camp prior to moving on to Zarafa Camp. Be sure to investigate TheWildSource.com Selinda Camp page as part of your research before planning a safari to northern Botswana.
Selinda Camp
Selinda Camp is a relatively new camp in Botswana - having been completely rebuilt in 2007. A very interesting feature of the camp is that it is owned (and was rebuilt) by acclaimed wildlife documentary filmmakers Dereck and Beverly Joubert. They have put together an extremely luxurious tented camp in northern Botswana.
Wildlife Viewing at Selinda Camp
Selinda Camp is Situated in an Ideal Location
While Selinda Camp certainly has its share of luxury (art gallery, plunge pool, wine cellar) - the camp really shines with the available game viewing opportunities. The camp is located on an island on the banks of the Selinda Spillway where three rivers converge. The camp's position provides outstanding views of the open flood plains and savanna. Wildlife is abundant.
Great Game Viewing is a Staple of Selinda Camp
Among the species that visitors to Selinda Camp could expect to see include: elephants, cheetah, African Wild Dog, antelope, lions, leopard.
Bill's Trip Report
I believe that this is Bill's first visit to Selinda Camp. He should have Internet access within two days after his visit - so I'll be sure to post any photos and stories that I get to the blog for everyone to enjoy.
Next up: Zarafa Camp - to see all of the destinations on the 2010 journaling safari, see the itinerary and map (both below).
