Selinda Concession

Relaxed Luxury in Pristine Bush, Close to the Okavango Delta

Of the three remarkable wildlife areas immediately west of Chobe – Kwando, Selinda and Linyanti – Selinda is arguably the best, particularly for predators such as lions, wild dogs and aardwolves. This region has gone through a series of planned and natural changes in recent years: hunting has been largely phased out and an old watercourse, the Selinda Spillway, has been filling with water in some seasons, attracting an abundance of game.

The camps here are small and exclusive with excellent, unfussy service and a strong commitment to sustainability. I particularly appreciate the emphasis on vehicle-free activities such as canoeing, mokoro trips, walking and horse riding.
