Okavango Explorers Camp offers a traditional safari experience from days gone by, reminiscent of exploring the unknown Africa of the 1920’s. Okavango Explorers Camp can accommodate a maximum of 12 adults in 6 tents. Each room has an en-suite bathroom, a tea/coffee station, a desk and a deck with a private lounge area. The tents are at ground level and are connected to the main building via sandy pathways.

The centre of the camp is formed by the lounge/dining tent, which stand under large, shady trees. In the evening, dinner may be taken under the stars around the camp fire. The many paraffin lamps and the flickering fire create a romantic, adventurous atmosphere in the midst of the African bush.

Okavango Explorers Camp is situated on the banks of the Selinda Spillway, which connects the Okavango waters and the north-easterly Linyanti and Kwando rivers during high floods. It is positioned in the southwest of Botswana’s private Selinda Reserve at the intersection of the upper Okavango Delta water system and the famed Selinda Spillway.

Okavango Explorers Camp is part of the private Selinda Concession (1,350 km²). Selinda Camp, Zarafa Camp and Selinda Explorers Camp are also part of this concession. However, Okavango Explorers Camp is located much further south and at a great distance from the other camps in the concession.

Access is to the camp's private airstrip. A flight from Kasane in a light aircraft takes about 55 minutes and about 45 minutes from Maun, followed by a 5-min drive to camp.

Lion, leopard and wild dogs hunt these parts regularly. There are good densities of giraffe, buffalo and rare antelopes like roan, sable and eland. At the peak of the dry season in late September, the Selinda Reserve is home to over 9,000 elephants concentrated along with this river system.

Canoe trips on the Selinda Spillway, bush walking and of course game drives in open 4x4 vehicles.
