Zarafa

Selinda Game Reserve, Botswana

AT A GLANCE:
  • Overlooks the Zibadianja Lagoon
  • Very luxurious and welcoming
  • Four unique tented suites, plus the luxury 'Dhow Suites'
  • Excellent game viewing
  • Eco- friendly lodge, completely solar powered
  • Excellent for small groups

WHAT WE LIKE ABOUT IT:

Zarafa is located north of the Okavango Delta on the Selinda Reserve, a private concession in the Linyanti region of Northern Botswana. The name ‘Zarafa’ means "the beloved one" in Arabic and was inspired by the gift of a giraffe, presented to Charles X of France in 1826 by the Viceroy of Egypt.

There is plenty to enthrall you at Zarafa, including game drives, walks and night drives which uncover great African game species such as lechwe, kudu, buffalo, zebra and giraffe, cheetah, wild dog, lion and leopard. When the season is dry large herds of elephant can be seen passing through as well. Bush dinners, fishing, canoeing and boating, and plenty of satisfying birding round off what we feel is an unforgettable experience.

We have divided Zarafa into its two key parts - Zarafa itself, and the new Zarafa Dhow Suites, both of which we describe separately below.

Zarafa offers a highly exclusive safari experience with all amenities and bespoke provision of all you will need, and more. We recommend it without hesitation. The best advice we can give you on Zarafa is to book early - there are a lot of people from all around the world wanting to visit Zarafa, and only a handful of suites.

We have just returned from a magnificent safari experience at Zarafa. From the friendliness of the staff; the healthy, wholesome cuisine; the beautifully decorated decor redolent of Out of Africa safari elegance; the incredible and breathtaking scenery and setting of the lodge; the most amazing game experience; and the superb professional and knowledge of our incredible guide, Lets, Zarafa was simply sensational. Thank you to the entire team and namely Frank, Katherine and the awesome Lets for making our 9th wedding anniversary (that we had actually forgotten about because we were so blown away with Zarafa!!) so supremely special. Til we meet again x
