3 nights at Selinda Camp in a luxury suite on a Fully Inclusive Basis.

SELINDA RESERVE

Set in one of the most pristine wilderness areas left on our planet, the new Selinda Camp rests on the

banks of the Selinda Spillway, as it enters the Linyanti River. The private 130,000 hectare Selinda Reserve boasts elephants by the thousands, regular sightings of the Selinda pack of African wild dogs as well as the famous Selinda Lion Pride featured in the National Geographic film “Birth of a Pride” by Dereck and Beverly Joubert. The area has a sense of remoteness, a true spirit of Africa, and is a great example of the Botswana bush embodying a variety of species and rare animals.

Selinda Camp represents the meeting place of three cultures; European, Mokololo and Bayei and is

themed to resemble that of the thatched village of Sangwali, one that used to house 3,000 warriors and

sufficient enough to loan David Livingstone 200 men during his travels.

Spears, shields and an African version of Robinson Crusoe is the enduring theme through the camp,

and its architectural design elements center around Water, Air, Earth and Fire, all of which ground the

design.

Selinda Camp’s design pays homage first and foremost to Water, with splashes of blue and crystal

clear swimming pools offering views over the equally immaculate Selinda Spillway to ease your arrival,

usually by boat.

The billowing silks, which adorn the ceilings of the lounge area, are a tribute to Air and the afternoon

breezes that ripple the endless sea of nearby grasses.

Earth is represented in the cornucopia of home-grown meals lovingly prepared in our kitchens, fresh

from the earth, and the bright flames of our evening Fire complete the ethos of being in harmony with

nature’s natural elements.

The camp has three expansive guest suites, each covered under thatch and with large en-suite

bathrooms, large private veranda and private swimming pool. There is in some cultures a fifth element,

‘metal’, which is also incorporated into the design. Every space enhances what Livingstone would

have had, what he would have travelled with and found. But beyond that, we go back to the Robinson

Crusoe feel, including textures of rope, rooms under thatch, hammocks, lots of space, nautical

elements and salvaged wood. In addition to the three main suites, the Selinda Suite (like its fellow

Zarafa Dhow Suite and the Duba Plains Suite), consists of a two-bedroom tented villa. The Selinda Suite

operates exclusively, as guests enjoy their own private vehicle, safari guide, chef, manager/butler and

entrance to their residence.

The safari drives, walks, boating, tracking, birding and other bespoke viewing activities are designed

to place you in front of the best wildlife the area has to offer for a unique one on one life changing

experience, from leopards to elephants and hippos and aim to tick off as many as the 200 or more bird

species in the area.

3 nights at Xigera Safari Lodge in a Suite on a Fully inclusive Basis.

MOREMI GAME RESERVE

Xigera Safari Lodge is located in the Moremi Game Reserve with private access to a 4,500-hectare

(11,120-acre) wetland paradise in the heart of the Delta. Situated on one of the Okavango’s key

waterways, Xigera Safari Lodge is surrounded by picturesque papyrus swamps and wooded islands and

is renowned for its very high density of sitatunga antelope. The area is known for remarkable mammal

sightings including red lechwe, spotted-necked otter, elephant, buffalo, reedbuck and tsessebe.

Predators include lions, spotted hyenas and leopards. Guests are sometimes treated to close-up views

of lions or leopards using the footbridge connecting Xigera to the next island! This concession lies in

an International Birding Area (IBA) with many ‘Okavango specials’ being present, including Pel’s FishingOwl, African Skimmer, Brown Firefinch, Greater Swamp Warbler, Wattled Crane, African Pygmy Goose and Lesser Jacana.

The Red Carnation Hotel Collection is returning to its roots: Africa, where it all began. Xigera (“Keejera”) is, quite simply, a pioneer. This extraordinary new safari lodge, located in the Moremi Game

Reserve in the heart of the Okavango Delta, is a bold new statement, reinventing what it means to

experience the African bush. Inspired by a deep love of the Delta and its wildlife, Xigera offers just 24

guests a remarkable opportunity to explore the richness of this UNESCO World Heritage Site – at their

own pace, in their own time, however they wish.

Meticulously designed to frame the breathtaking floodplains and riverine forests, the lodge is in

complete synergy with its surroundings. Spacious suites clad in flame-torched timber look out onto

lily-filled lagoons, providing a front-row seat to the theatre of the African bush. The interiors are filled

with exceptional one-off works of art and design created by Africa’s most globally recognised names, in

collaboration with award-winning gallery Southern Guild, from gleaming hand-forged copper and steel

consoles by Conrad Hicks, to Adam Birch’s tactile creations carved right on-site.

Quietly surprising touches are everywhere, from the lily-inspired spa to the remarkable three-storey

baobab sculpture overlooking the floodplain, offering the chance of a life-changing sleep-out beneath

the velvet night sky.

This ground-breaking project is the first purpose-built safari lodge developed by The Red Carnation

Collection, the pinnacle of a life’s work creating extraordinary hospitality experiences. Founders

Beatrice and Stanley Tollman and their family have spent the last 66 years creating and steering some

of the world’s finest luxury boutique hotels in exceptional locations. The Tollmans’ devotion to detail

lies at the core of everything; the effortless service, the deep human connection and the personal

touches in every destination are what make the hotels so special. Xigera is no exception.

With exceptional staff attending to our guests, the lodge offers an exclusive experience of unrivalled

flexibility – there are no set times, no itineraries, just the unique chance of exploring the bush at a

personalised pace. A transformative journey awaits, defined by Red Carnation’s passion and art of

hospitality.
