Great Plains Zarafa Camp
An intimate safari camp perched on the banks of the Zibadiania Lagoon
Great Plains Zarafa Camp
Located on the private 130,000-hectare (320,000-acre) Selinda Reserve of northern Botswana, 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 100 m2 (1,000 ft2), and are set on raised decking, with 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-plan bathroom complete with a 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. Savour mouth-watering meals in the elegant dining area or under the dappled shade of the deck.
For those looking for a little more privacy…
The epitome of luxurious exclusivity, the Zarafa Dhow Suite is an extension of the main Zarafa Camp situated upstream along the banks of the pristine Zibadianja Lagoon.
Boasting two stunning bedrooms, this sole-use private tented 210 m2 (2,260 ft2) suite is similarly designed to its parent camp, and is also set on a raised decking, with under flowing canvas. Entering through the camp’s renowned wooden Lamu door, exclusivity takes on a whole new meaning in this private tent, which boasts an exquisite space, filled with rich wooden features, including the camp’s signature copper bath and indoor fireplace. Extensive decking with a private plunge pool and outdoor seating area, grants ample gaming viewing opportunities.a
