Situated in The Selinda, a 1350km private reserve that straddles the Selinda Spillway, Zibalianja Camp offers just three Meru-style tents on raised decks with en-suite, ‘open-air’ bathrooms.

Built on a palm island in a sea of floodplain savannah, Zibalianja puts the emphasis on intimate hospitality in the tradition of a bygone safari era. The thatch bar and viewing deck overlook a small, but active, waterhole whilst meals are taken in the warmth of the well appointed "mess tent". Siesta time can also be spent in the sunken hide at the waterhole’s edge. The Selinda is host to a wide variety bird species (300+) and wildlife, including hippo, buffalo, zebra, giraffe, cheetah, wild dog, lion, plenty of elephant and several species of antelope. Night drives allow guests to see such nocturnal species as porcupine, springhare, hyaena and perhaps even the elusive leopard.
