Camp Details
The Dhow Suite at Zarafa is undoubtedly one of Botswana’s most beautiful Great Plains Conservation Réserve Collection safari camps. Zarafa means “the beloved one” or “the lovely one” in Arabic. The name comes from a giraffe presented to Charles X of France in 1826 by the Viceroy of Egypt. The giraffe was transported from Africa to France in a traditional Dhow.
The Dhow Suite at Zarafa, a Great Plains Conservation Réserve-Collection safari camp, is located on the private 130,000-hectare Selinda Reserve. The Selinda Reserve links Botswana’s Okavango Delta with the Linyanti waterways. Every area of the camp offers stunning views over the Zibadianja Lagoon, the source of the Savuti Channel.
This Relais & Châteaux member property is a private 2-bedroom villa, complete with the services of a personal butler, chef, game drive vehicle and wildlife guide included in the nightly rate. Flanking each side of the main lounge and dining area, each bedroom flows to a beautiful bedroom and an open layout indoor bathroom complete with a copper claw-foot bath and private outdoor showers. Expansive, raised sleeper wood outdoor decking wraps around each guest suite and offers guests a private verandah complete with a plunge pool, outdoor seating and fire pit.
