Introducing our exciting new Seba Camp, located in an ancient riverine forest, overlooking a perennial lagoon with prolific birdlife and regularly visited by the game in the area. Seba is named after a young bull rescued by Randall Moore from a culling operation in South Africa's Kruger National Park. As a baby, he starred in the Walt Disney movie, Whispers, that was filmed in the area. Seba - the name means "whispers" - was released three years ago into the wild and is often seen around the camp.
One of the main attractions at Seba Camp is the presence of researchers from Bristol University in the UK who are conducting a field study of the interaction between those elephants released from the Abu herd and the adolescent wild bulls in the Okavango Delta. The researchers are happy to share their experiences and knowledge with the guests at the camp. The site has been used as a base for the researchers and as a centre for wildlife film-makers shooting documentaries on location.
Seba has five elevated tents, each accommodating two guests, in secluded positions shaded by magnificent old trees. Each en-suite unit has its own private wooden deck with views over the lagoon and flood plains. The tents are individually decorated with a theme representing different Botswana tribes and use wood and other materials found in the area. A new addition is the family room available allowing privacy and safety for younger children as there is no age restriction at Seba Camp. The family room has two bedrooms both en suite that are interlinked by a passageway. The room also boast a small swimming pool and sandpit with ample space for relaxation on the outside deck.
Despite its location in the middle of the Okavango Delta, one of Africa's last remaining wetland wildernesses, the emphasis at Seba is on luxury. An expansive lounge and dining area open out onto elevated communal deck, again with views over the lagoon. There is a pool for guests to cool off in the heat of the day. It is the ideal place for honeymooners and families alike.
Day and night game viewing in open vehicles is available as well as trips, when water levels allow, in mokoros, the traditional poled canoes used in the Okavango Delta. The area is rich in game - elephant, giraffe, buffalo, impala, tsessebe, lechwe, reed buck and warthog - and the ever present predators, lion, leopard and cheetah that prey on the herds of plains game. More than 500 species of birds are found in the region. Trained guides will be on hand to help with identification and to advise on all aspects of the Okavango ecosystem.
