Just one and a half hours west of Selinda main camp, Selinda Explorers Camp is poised in a remote, treasured location on the famous Selinda Spillway. As the lifeline of the Selinda Reserve, the Selinda Spillway is a crucial gathering point for the wildlife of this pristine 320,000-acre Reserve. The intention of Selinda Explorers Camp is to offer the same quality of wildlife experience, while also allowing guests to explore outside of the vehicle, by foot and canoe. This classic camp, consisting of four custom-designed tents, transports us back to authentic safaris, but with a modern twist and hospitality. Subtly placed under the shade of the riverine forest, the camp is designed in the style of the early explorers both in philosophy and practice. Whiling away afternoons under the canopy of jackelberry and mangosteen trees, interspersed with walks and canoeing, make this a respite from the ‘daily grind’ of a traditional safari.

There are few places in northern Botswana as dynamic as the Selinda Reserve. The Selinda Reserve is centered on the famous Selinda Spillway, which flows through the concession from east to west linking the far reaches of the Okavango Delta in the south with the Linyanti systems in the east. It flows into the Zibadianja lagoon, then through the Savute channel and eventually ends at the Savute marsh. Therefore, it has all the advantages of both of those famous areas but with the tremendous advantage of exclusivity. It is a truly spectacular and unique landscape.

Ithumba Camp is a luxury safari camp located in the Tsavo East National Park.  Situated between bush and acacia trees, the private Ithumba Camp belongs to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and primarily reserved for donors.  As a donor, guests can tour the elephant orphans in the nearby Ithumba station two times a day where they can even enjoy a midday mud-bath and feeding. Ithumba is where you can appreciate the great big skies, the star-studded nights and the rich array of fascinating species inhabiting this remote and wild habitat.  Ithumba Camp was once a designated campsite of the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) before the DSWT was granted permission to create the current camp.  

The camp was built as a conservation initiative to support the KWS in protecting and conserving the Northern Area of Tsavo East. A small portion of the camp’s accommodation fees are reserved for the camp’s running and maintenance costs, while the rest of the funds go directly to the KWS for conservation initiatives.  

With its cool Galana stone floors and beautiful thatched roofs, this camp consists of a comfortable mess-building, including an open-plan dining and sitting room.  The camp offers four en-suite safari style canvas tents under thatched roofs with rustic rock bathrooms, flush toilets and hot water showers under the stars.
