Amazing Camp!!
“We stayed at Selinda Explorers camp for 3 nights during our 2-week long Africa trip. This was our favorite camp that we stayed at, everything from the tented accommodation, the staff, the animal sightings, and the food was all fantastic. Our guide was Stitch who was great! He tracked down a lot of animals for us (full list below). He always made sure we were comfortable and even made an effort to move into the best lighting for our pictures. The rest of the staff were also great. Special shoutout to TBK, Paul, and Snoop for being so welcoming and nice to us. I enjoyed how the camp was smaller (only 4 tents), it felt more private than the other camps we stayed at.” Date of stay: July 2024

Selinda Explorers Camp – May 2024
“We spent four days at the Selinda Explorers camp on the Okavango Delta with our daughter and son-in-law. Words cannot describe the magnitude of our experience. We first have to begin with our guide Stanley. Yes, everyone “thinks” their guide is the best, but in our case Stanley truly is the BEST! Our relationship with Stanley quickly began to feel more like family. Stanley is one of the happiest, hardest working, joyful, and genuine people you will ever meet. Stanley sang traditional songs, made us laugh, and put us right in the middle of so, so many animals day after day. Our family now has new words that we call “Stanleyism’s”…Some examples are: “branches” and “hold on”…When Stanley says “branches” it means you have about half a second to get down before some branches take you out, and when Stanley says “hold on” that means you better HOLD ON TIGHT to your seat because something exciting is about to happen! We are so grateful to now call Stanley our friend.” Date of stay: May 2024
