Adventure in Botswana: Selinda Explorers Camp is classic
and secluded on the Selinda Spillway
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 12, 2012
In a country known for its diamonds, Great Plains Conservation opened another gem in
August – Selinda Explorers Camp – located in the Selinda Reserve in northern
Botswana.
The Selinda Explorers Camp has just four tents and is a new concept camp for Botswana;
located on the banks of the Selinda Spillway to accommodate a maximum of eight people.
A separate guide's tent is available.
The canvas camp is designed in the style of the early explorers, with Campaign-style
furniture, glass decanters, Persian rugs, flush toilets, copper sinks and bucket showers.
In balance with the wild location, the camp is ecologically sensitive with 100% solar power,
grey water treatment and fresh bore-hole water for drinking.
Activities concentrate on getting closer to nature: guided walking and canoeing, and both
day and night game drives that explore the eastern reaches of the 320,000-acre Selinda
Reserve. This is a wildlife hot-spot, with huge herds of elephants and buffalo, lion, wild dog,
sable and roan antelope.
