Zibalianja Camp is situated in the Selinda Reserve, a 1350 square km private reserve that straddles the Selinda Spillway. This ephemeral waterway links the Okavango Delta in the west to the Kwando/Linyanti river system in the east. Here are found the game-rich floodplains of The Selinda and the Zibalianja Lagoon - source of the Savute Channel.
Built on a palm island in a sea of floodplain savannah, Zibalianja's 3 Meru style tents are all en-suite. Erected on wooden decks, each tent enjoys wide vistas of the surrounding floodplains.
With a maximum of only 6 individual guests (or 8 if one group all sharing), the emphasis is on intimate hospitality in the tradition of a by-gone safari era. The thatch bar and viewing deck overlook a small, but active waterhole, whilst meals are taken in the warmth of the well appointed 'mess tent'.
Daily activities revolve around morning, afternoon and night game drives with experienced professional guides in custom built 4x4 Toyota Land Cruisers. Short walks from camp are encouraged. Accompanied by an armed professional guide (all walking guides are in possession of a Botswana 'Full Professional Guide' licence), these walks give guests the chance to 'touch the Earth' and be introduced to some of Africa's less prominent wildlife.
Siesta time can also be spent in the sunken hide at the waterhole's edge. The Selinda is host to a wide variety bird (300+ species) and wildlife including: several species of antelope, hippo, buffalo, zebra, giraffe, cheetah, wild dog, lion and plenty of elephant.
Night drives allow guests to see such nocturnal species as the small cats, porcupine, springhare, hyaena and perhaps even the elusive leopard.
