Introduce your young family to the wonder of wild Africa
Read or post a review on Seba CampSeba Camp blends beautifully into the ancient riverine forest of majestic hardwood trees – predominantly sycamore fig, magosteen and leadwood, against which it is built.
Overlooking a perennial lagoon with prolific birdlife and visiting pods of hippo, Seba Camp has eight well-appointed, spacious tents elevated from the ground - each celebrating one of the different tribes of Botswana through vibrant décor. Each tent has an en-suite bathroom and a private deck with magnificent vistas of the perennial lagoon and the host of wildlife passing by.
Seba Camp has two family suites to accommodate groups of varying sizes. One has an upstairs lounge with a pull-out sleeper couch, while the other has a loft room suitable for older children or adults. There’s also an elevated deck which has its own small swimming pool and sandpit.
Well-lit paths lead to the communal dining area, bar and a lounge-library - replete with reference and pictorial books. As they are raised on a saligna deck, spectacular vistas greet guests in all these areas. Seba Camp also has a secluded swimming pool to refresh and relax in after a game drive. Buffet meals are served, usually al fresco, in the dining area: five-star cuisine and superb dinners follow cocktails shared by guests, researchers and guides around a traditional campfire.
The camp is named after Seba, one of the elephants historically released from nearby Abu Camp. As a baby, Seba starred in the Walt Disney movie, Whispers, which was filmed in the area. The word seba means 'whisper' in the local language.
The large elephant population aside, a seasonal abundance of game graces the area: giraffe, zebra, impala, wildebeest, tessebe and lechwe. Lion frequent the greater area and herds of buffalo are also occasional visitors to Seba Camp.
Bird enthusiasts will be pleased to know that over 380 species are found in the region.
During winter Seba Camp is transformed into a water camp, with water-based activities taking precedence - such as mokoro and motorboat excursions, including fishing as an option.
