When To Visit
Peak Season: May to October
By September, up to 9 000 elephants can be found roaming the Selinda Reserve and the Selinda Spillway could be flowing.
Green Season: November to April
A combination of grasslands and riparian woodlands make this a phenomenal option for seasoned birders.
Overview
The Selinda Spillway is an ephemeral channel in the Selinda Reserve, coming and going as the floodwaters rise and fall in the Okavango Delta. This 130 000 hectare / 321 000 acres private area is known for good populations of both predators and prey. In the heart is Okavango Explorers, a charming camp where simplicity, attention to detail and service seamlessly merge. Echoing back to the candle and canvas safaris of the past, it gives experienced safari lovers a glimpse of yesteryear without sacrificing comfort.
In addition to day and night drives, seasonal fishing, nature walks and canoeing are added to the activities mix. The Young Explorers programme is perfect for keeping older children engaged and entertained.
