Zarafa Camp: picture gallery


Zarafa is a luxuriously understated camp situated in the private Selinda Reserve...
...overlooking the expansive Zibadianja Lagoon.
This camp is very exclusive with just four tents...
...each with its own private verandah and plunge pool.
The bedrooms are spacious, beautifully designed and lead to...
...a stylish open-plan to the bathroom with a walk-in shower and...
...a luxuriously deep copper bath.
There's also an outdoor shower.
Adjoining the bedroom is a lounge area with a huge comfy leather sofa and chairs...
...a lovely wooden writing desk,...
...small library and...
...a selection of drinks.
The tastefully decorated main area houses a lounge, bar and dining room...
Meals, like this brunch buffet, are fresh and tasty...
...and often served outdoors with all guests seated around a long wooden table...
...and it is not unusual to have some visitors near to the camp.
There is a well-stocked curio shop where you can get some beautiful souvenirs.
Zarafa even offers a small gym with great views!
Activities here include game drives in open 4WD vehicles...
...discovering the wildlife of the reserve...
...which has several resident leopards...
...and their cubs.
Other predators that are often seen in this area include lion,...
...spotted hyena and...
...and wild dogs.
With a good population of predators there is plenty of general game too.
When water levels are high boat cruises are offered aboard the HMS Zibadianja...
...which is kitted out with couches and a dining table, perfect for brunch or dinner...
...whilst watching the excellent birdlife around the lagoon.
For relaxation between and after activities, enjoy great views from the day beds...
...and watch the sun going down...
...in the beautiful Zibadianja Lagoon.
