ZIBALIANJA
Linyanti, Botswana
Chobe National Park Bush Lodge
Situated in the 135 000-hectare (1 350 square km) Selinda concession,
Zibalianja Camp is located near the Zibadianja Lagoon – source
of the Savuti Channel. Built around a palm island in a sea of floodplain
savannah, Zibalianja’s three Meru-style tents are all en-suite
and built on wooden decks with wide vistas of the surrounding floodplains.
With a maximum of six guests, the emphasis is 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.”
Camp Description
Guests can also enjoy a main area which encompasses a canvas with
reed-walled dinning and lounge tent. There is also a thatched bar
and viewing deck overlooking a small waterhole. There is also a
small waterhole with sunken hide. The camp has its own Curio shop
and also a lovely campfire area.
Game Viewing
Activities include game drives, in the early morning, afternoon
and at night, allowing sightings of both day and night-time wildlife.
Short nature walks with an experienced guide are available as well.
In addition, guests may extend their stay to join the Selinda Walking
Trail. Siesta time is best spent in the sunken hide at the edge
of the waterhole, catching the wide variety of plains game and predators
that arrive to drink. Wildlife includes elephant, zebra, giraffe,
cheetah, wild dog, lion and an amazing amount of birdlife. The Selinda
Walking Trail, a superb two-day walk between Tswene and Mokoba Trails
Camps in the Linyanti Concession, is a wonderful addition to a stay
at either Selinda or Zibalianja camps.
The Selinda, the area in which Zibalianja is located, is characterised
by its game-rich floodplains which are host to a variety of antelope,
zebra, giraffe, cheetah, wild dog, lion and plenty of elephant.
Game drives are fruitful with a variety of antelope, zebra, wildebeest,
giraffe and buffalo to be seen. Predator viewing is exceptional
including the hippo-killing lions of Selinda, leopard, wild dog
and cheetah.
