Zarafa Camp

Zarafa Camp is located near the Zibadianja Lagoon , the source of the Savute Channel. A small, exclusive luxury camp with a stunning setting where each room overlooks the beautiful floodplain which attracts a great deal of wildlife.

Zarafa Camp evokes a sense of old-style safari with its four large, luxuriously appointed double or twin ‘marquis style’ tents.

Each tent and veranda is spacious, positioned under cool and shady trees with breathtaking vistas of the Zibidianja Lagoon. The spacious bedroom has a lounge, ensuite bathroom with copper bath, indoor as well as outdoor shower, copper heater for cosy winters as well as its own private pool for summer.

The main area is furnished in the same ‘campaign’ style as the tents and evokes the traditional safari ambiance of the turn of the 20th century. Lounge and dining facilities may be enjoyed under canvas or on the full-length deck shaded by giant broad-leafed trees.

Activities at Zarafa Camp are flexible to suit guests’ particular interests and include morning, afternoon and night game drives. Short guided nature walks from camp are encouraged, to introduce guests to some of Africa’s less prominent wildlife.

All of the Chobe National Park wildlife is present around Zarafa Camp with a varied bird and mammal community. Abundant plains game can be found here including lechwe, kudu, buffalo, zebra and giraffe. It is also a predator-rich reserve including cheetah, wild dog, lion, and leopard. The massive herds of elephant are another highlight.

The emphasis at Zarafa Camp is on offering a luxurious and personalised experience whilst it has also been built with a strong emphasis on minimising its environmental impact. Only recycled hardwoods and canvas was used in the construction and all the camps electricity (24/7) comes from its solar farm and a system of batteries and inverters.
