About Selinda Adventure Trail

Journey like a true explorer on the Selinda Spillway.

Unfortunately, Selinda Adventure Trail has been discontinued. Experience one of Botswana's most beguiling phenomenons on a five-day, four-night canoe and walking trail. Connecting the Okavango Delta region with the Linyanti Wetlands of northern Botswana, the Selinda Spillway is a vast seasonal waterway, rich in wildlife and scenic beauty. The adventure begins with a helicopter flight to the trailhead of either a 40-kilometer combination canoe and walking trail, or a 20-kilometere pure walking trail, depending on the fluctuating water levels of the spillway. This is a raw and real, down-to-earth and truly traditional safari experience. You'll be accompanied by the best guides in the business, with opportunities to see the enormous herds of buffalo and elephant as well as the lion, leopard and wild dog that make this the iconic wilderness it is.

Property details

The property

The fly camps are literally here today, gone tomorrow. Staff go ahead and set up camp in a different picturesque location each day. "Camp" may be a picnic lunch in a grove of leadwoods and jackalberries; by evening your tent has been moved to the periphery of a pan where your veranda is the edge of the spillway at your toe-tips. The in-camp experience is completely outdoors and centres around the fireside with good food and good stories abound.

The rooms

Keeping you as close to nature as humanly possible. Up to 8 people can be accommodated in 4 bow-shaped tents. The tents are basic, with few facilities besides a comfortable twin bed. Hot bucket-showers ensure one keeps feeling fresh after a long day of walking and canoeing.

Activities

Your activity each day is the journey to the next campsite - by canoe or by foot. You will take things slowly, stopping as often as possible for sightings or refreshments. There is no rush. Your guide will inform and entertain you as you go. The intimacy of this experience and the adventure of navigating the channels and trails on your own steam, are what make it so unique. It is truly all about the journey.
