Kings Pool Camp

The recently renovated camp at Kings Pool is perhaps the most luxurious in Botswana. Each of its 9 large tents includes bedroom area, lounge, sala and private plunge pool. All rooms overlook the Linyanti River and the Kings Pool Lagoon with its boisterous population of hippos. Game viewing is excellent, and the area is known for its huge herds of elephant in the dry winter months. There are two hides at the camp, including one built underground at water level from which you can watch the feet and trunks of elephants as they enjoy their baths-an experience not soon forgotten.

Savuti Camp

This camp is located on the Savuti Channel, a former river that stopped flowing in 1980 and is now a long trough of grass filled with the great African predators and their prey. The camp's 7 large tents and lounge area are raised on walkways to allow the animals to pass through and the visitor to avoid being lion lunch. There is a waterhole in front of the camp with a woodpile hide where elephants and many other animals gather to drink. Whether watching from the hide or from the camp, guests are offered an intimate view of how the animals of Savuti live. Guided walks and spectacular game drives complete the experience of this wonderful camp.

DumaTau Camp

Duma Tau is built on raised boardwalks under shady mangosteen trees and overlooks a lagoon crowded with hippos. Its 10 spacious rooms have cool thatched roofs and canvas walls to let in the sounds of the African night-the lion's roar, the warning calls of the baboons, the snorts and snores of hippos. Located near the source of the Savuti Channel, the area has a rich variety of wildlife that may be viewed from boats, Land Rovers, on foot and up close from a number of cleverly disguised hides.

Selinda Camp

Nine Meru style tents in the old African safari tradition welcome visitors to Selinda Camp. Each tent has en suite facilities built into the natural surroundings. A thatched lounge and dining area overlooks the Selinda Spillway and a hippo pool. Activities include day and night drives to view the abundant game of the 300,000 acre Selinda Reserve as well as walks with a guide who seems to have been born knowing every bird, beast and plant. It is also possible to take the Selinda Walking Trail from here for two days more of wildlife viewing on foot.

Zarafa Camp

Zarafa (formerly Zibadianja) Camp, overlooking the Zibadianja Lagoon, evokes a sense of old-style safari with its four large, luxuriously appointed 'marquis style' tents. The emphasis here is on individual hospitality and privacy. The camp is perfect for those who favor a more intimate personal experience or want to book an entire camp on an exclusive basis. Each generous tent and veranda is positioned under cool and shady trees to emphasize the spectacular view and comprises a spacious bedroom, en-suite bathroom, a copper bath/shower and an outdoor shower.

The main area is furnished in the same 'campaign' style as the tents and evokes the traditional safari ambiance of the turn of the last century. Lounge and dining facilities may be enjoyed under canvas or on the full-length deck shaded by giant broad-leafed trees - overlooking the expansive view and the wildlife that passes by.
Activities at Zarafa are flexible to suit guests' particular interests and include morning, afternoon and night game drives in custom-built 4x4 Toyota Land Cruisers. Short, guided nature walks from camp introduce guests to some of Africa's less prominent wildlife. Siesta time can also be spent in the sunken hide at the waterhole's edge.

All of the Chobe wildlife is present at Zarafa. Abundant plains game can be found here including lechwe, kudu, buffalo, zebra and giraffe. It is also a predator-rich reserve with resident cheetah, wild dog, lion, and leopard. The massive herds of elephant are another highlight and a wide variety of birds can be seen.
