The intimate Zarafa Camp is situated along the banks of the pristine Zibadianja Lagoon. Here, guests can immerse themselves in the atmosphere of a luxurious bygone era, while experiencing exhilarating landscapes brimming with wildlife encounters. Each of Zarafa Camp’s four guest tents are 1000 square foot (100m2), set on raised decking, under flowing canvas. Entering through a Lamu door guests, find a lavish space of deep reds and browns. The romantic bedroom is connected to a full lounge and open layout bathroom complete with cooper claw-foot bath. Extensive decking includes a private plunge pool and outdoor shower.

Enjoy delicious meals under starry skies and drinks around a blazing fire, and savour mouth-watering meals in the elegant dining area or under the dappled shade of the deck.

Under a canopy of ebony trees, spend time in the comfortable main lounge, peruse the library, delight in the luxury of time in your private lounge and soak in your private plunge pool. Adventures include morning and evening game drives in open 4×4 safari vehicles, short, guided walks, and the opportunity to get up close and personal with wildlife at the pontoon. Selinda Reserve is home to leopard, lion, cheetah, elephant, buffalo, red lechwe, zebra and giraffe. It is also a refuge for some of the more uncommon species such as African wild dog, roan and sable. And for birders the nearby African skimmer colony is a highlight. From camp, hippos are visible in the Lagoon and elephant wander through regularly – an incredibly romantic journey awaits you here.
