African Reservations

Zarafa Camp is built on a palm island in a sea of floodplain savannah, offering 3 Meru style tents all en-suite. Erected on wooden decks, each tent enjoys wide vistas of the surrounding floodplains. With a maximum of only 6 guests, 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, 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, hyena and perhaps even the elusive leopard.
