SEBA CAMP
- OKAVANGO DELTA, BOTSWANA
Seba Camp is a Classic Camp, set in an ancient riverine
forest in the heart of Botswana's magical Okavango Delta, offers secluded,
luxurious accommodation overlooking a seasonal floodplain and lagoon
teeming with animal and bird life. Guests can enjoy more than game viewing,
however, the camp is a base for unique research on elephant behaviour
and a center for wildlife filmmakers. Seba is located in the beautiful
Abu concession and the camp is named after one of the elephants released
back to the wild from the nearby Abu Camp. The
camp is open all year. Seba Camp is operated by Wilderness Safaris.

Seba Camp includes five
well-appointed and spacious elevated tents, designed specifically to
blend in with the Okavango landscape. Each has its own en-suite bathroom,
with shower, and a private deck on which to relax and observe the passing
panoply of wildlife in and around the perennial lagoon. The
tents include wooden door entrances and roll-down canvas on the windows
with large windows in the front for viewing. The tents are beautifully
decorated, using locally found materials and attention to detail is evident
in all the locally crafted furnishings.
The dining
and bar areas are also set on a raised saligna
deck with spectacular views. There is also
a plunge pool to cool off on hot afternoons. A library
is available with a number of reference books and
beautiful coffee table books on Africa. Sundowners
are around a traditional African campfire.
Activities
Seba Camp
is a year-round, multi-activity camp, offering

during the day and night, as well as walking with an
armed guide. When the flood waters arrive, mokoro

true wilderness areas.
Wildlife
Plains
game is abundant in the area, from giraffe, zebra,
elephant, impala, tsessebe and lechwe to wildebeest,
buffalo and warthogs. The camp's resident pride of
lion often announce their presence during your stay
and one can often hear their echoing roars late into
the evenings There is an abundance of bird life found
in the area and with over 380 species found in the
region, making Seba Camp a haven for all bird enthusiasts.
A
number of elephants from Abu camp that were released
back into the wild have formed their own herd and
the interaction between these and the wild herds
in the area forms the basis for elephant research
being done in the area with Bristol University. Guests
can observe the researchers at work, often in
close proximity to the elephant herds.
