Great Plains Zarafa Camp

botswana

Big game, small footprint and old-world safari elegance

On the banks of the Zibadianja Lagoon in northern Botswana, Zarafa Camp delivers the kind of classic safari experience that feels both deeply exclusive and impressively connected to nature. With just four tented suites set within the private Selinda Reserve, it’s an intimate base for spotting elephants, wild dogs, leopards and lions – often without another vehicle in sight.

The suites are vast and beautifully appointed, with copper clawfoot tubs, vintage campaign furniture, and private plunge pools overlooking the water. Thoughtful touches, from Canon cameras for guest use to bespoke sundowners at your private deck,  elevate the experience at every turn.
