Zarafa Camp by Great Plains Conservation
A Luxury Tented Camp in Botswana
Camp Details
Zarafa Camp epitomises the adventure found at a luxury safari camp in Botswana.
Located in Botswana’s Selinda Reserve, this Réserve-Collection luxury safari camp is situated on the private Selinda Reserve. Zarafa Camp offers an intimate, ultra-luxury safari rooted in authenticity and conservation. Overlooking the Zibadianja Lagoon, each of the four tented suites features copper bathtubs, private plunge pools, and expansive decks — inviting you to watch elephants and big cats at play. Zarafa is more than a camp; it is a sanctuary for wildlife and discerning travellers seeking a Botswana safari of distinction.
Under a canopy of ebony trees, the main camp area gives guests a sizable main lounge, indoor and outdoor dining areas and a well-appointed bush boutique. Enjoy searching for your ideal wine in our private wine cellar, or enjoy dinner surrounded by hand-picked estates. An outdoor gym and spa are available.
The camp has no equal when it comes to its environmental credentials. The camp’s construction consists of recycled hardwoods and canvas, and its electricity comes from its on-site solar farm.
