Why it's unique

With just four vintage-style tents, this camp offers an old-world safari in one of Botswana’s most predator-rich corners.

Selinda Explorers Camp pairs low-impact design with traditional safari charm — think zip-up tents, leather couches, and Persian rugs — all on land that teems with migrating elephants and predators on the prowl.
