"Excellent safari at Selina"
Whilst game wasn't plentiful during our time, the anticipation was always high because Marks (our guide) was first rate. Having said that, we saw wild dogs mating, watched wild dogs chase a kudu through a large herd of elephant, saw two lionesses chasing a kudu and the same two lionesses later chasing a warthog so we were kept on our toes the whole time.
Food was fantastic at all times. The tents were comfortable and we loved having a glass of sherry (decanter in the room) whilst sharing the granite bath talking about our game viewing that day.
The only minus was the leaking hot water bottles - on one night, both bottles leaked in our bed so sleep was difficult." See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana
"Selinda Camp review"
The food was good, not great like the other camps though we did get treated to a private dinner on our verenda overlooking the spillway.
It was very romantic and a total surprise." See all these reviews: 11n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia

"Selinda Camp review"
The tents were luxurious and spacious and furnishings and decoration throughout were beautifully done. Service was unobtrusive and excellant and the staff were helpful and friendly.
We had an exceptional guide (Steve) who behaved very responsibly and was extremely knowledgeable. Game drives were very good although the game was sparse but we saw everything including leopard.
Everything was carried out with the guest's comfort in mind and every whim was catered for. The whole place had a lovely atmosphere and we were made to feel welcome and "special" like honoured guests.
We would thoroughly recommend Selinda." See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana; 5n in Mozambique; 3n in Zambia
"Great start to holiday at Selinda Camp"
The food was plentiful and well prepared, house keeping was also good and facilities well maintained. The game drives continued at a high level only lions weren't seen during the three day period.
When the time came to leave we were really sad, Ella made sure everyone new was introduced to all other guests which made you feel very welcome and sitting around the camp fire helped getting to know everyone and talking about their drives that day."
