Location
Tucked away in the furthest corner of the Chobe National Park, Linyanti is described as the ‘hidden gem of the Chobe.’ Secluded and remote, the Linyanti Swamp covers vast tracts of marshy swampland that attract huge congregations of game and birds.

Dense woodlands border the vast, ancient floodplains and host an abundance of wildlife, including the world’s highest densities of elephant in the dry winter months.

Herds of elephant, buffalo, and zebra congregate along the river, while giraffe, impala, and roan antelope feed on the succulent vegetation in the dense riverine forests. Overwhelming numbers of birds flock to the waters, including pelicans in the thousands.

And where there is food, there are predators – big cats abound with lion and cheetah frequently seen while the elusive leopard keeps a distance until nightfall.

Safari Activities Just For You
Safaris at Zarafa are completely flexible and there is no set routine. Activities are arranged to suit you, with opportunities to explore the reserve by open vehicle and on foot.

The midday siesta time can be spent at one of the waterholes near the camp in an elevated hide. Located in the heart of a bustling wildlife area, you may find the best game viewing could be from your own suite!

While your children join their guide for a ramble around camp, why not indulge in an in-room massage?

Wildlife Of The Selinda Reserve
Zarafa is set on a private 135,000-hectare (330,000-acre) wildlife area located in northern Botswana.

What makes this locale special is that it follows the floodplains of the Selinda Spillway, the waterway that winds its way through dry countryside to connect the Okavango Delta in the west to the Linyanti and Kwando wetlands and rivers in the east.

Here you’ll find huge herds of buffalo, zebra and elephant. The predator sightings are always exciting, with thriving lion prides and abundant leopard, cheetah, wild dog and scavenging hyena.

Conservation
Conservation
Zarafa’s parent company; Great Plains Conservation (GPC) have set up The Project Ranger, a response to the Covid-19 crisis. The project fills a critical gap in the wildlife monitoring, surveying, and anti-poaching operations of existing NGOs in Africa through an emergency fund supporting those on the frontlines of conservation. Their aim is to raise $5 million to support the rangers and the critical work they do to prevent poaching.
Environment

In 2019 GPC began a new programme, Conservation Grows. Through the project they aim to restore indigenous trees to landscapes across Kenya, Botswana, and Zimbabwe. Working with local communities and schools Conservation Grows teaches the value of indigenous trees and their critical role in functioning ecosystems.

Since 2010, GPC have partnered with local women in the communities surrounding many of their camps to honour and support traditional handicrafts. Across camps in Botswana and Kenya GPC has purchased more than $30,000 worth of items from women’s craft groups over the previous three years.

Go Exclusive In Botswana

The best way to give your family the facilities it seeks may be to book out an entire camp or lodge. Perhaps you are planning a multi-generation safari. Or you may want to fulfil a dream of walking, mokoroing and camping out in the Okavango. You may simply crave an extra degree of privacy. Most lodges we use take fewer than 16 guests, some take only eight, so booking a whole lodge is a viable option.

A Typical Day on a Botswana Safari

A land of contrasts, Botswana has long captured the hearts of countless travellers with its seasonal ebbs and flows. Each year, the flooding channels of the Okavango Delta beckon wildlife from near and far; rains transform the stark Makgadikgadi and Nxai salt pans into blankets of green; and dusty footprints trace paths to the vast elephant herds that gather in Chobe National Park. Comparing the verdant patchwork of green in the north to the lunar Kalahari landscapes further south is a feast for the senses, a feast which makes for an unforgettable geographical study in the span of a single trip. Discover Africa’s most exclusive safari destination in complete luxury.
