Stay at Motswiri Camp

Motswiri stands on the banks of the Selinda Spillway in the far western corner of Northern Botswana’s Selinda Reserve. This beautiful and remote area combines the open flood plains of the Okavango Delta with the thick riverine forests lining the Selinda Spillway.

Motswiri Camp is located in the world renowned Selinda Reserve and operates safaris exclusively on over 120,000 acres of pristine, African bush. Due to the diversity of the vegetation, the birding is superb. The reserve is also home to giraffe, zebra, tsesebe, roan antelope, sable, lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog and many elephant.

Wishing to get away from the conventional; Motswiri offers a

unique, charming and comfortable base from which to explore some of Africa’s remotest areas.

Motswiri offers five, large and tastefully appointed en-suite, classic meru tents all on raised decking. Each tent overlooks the Selinda Spillway where the elephants regularly come to bath in the afternoons. The tents are 5 metres x 7 metres in size and are positioned well apart from one another. Each tent has its own private bathroom, and large decked veranda. Families are welcome and there is a specially designed family unit. The main area of the camp offers a large, comfortable sitting area with separate dining. There is also a small plunge pool for those hot October afternoons.

Experiences

Riding Safari

Spot wildlife as never before on horseback, giving you a much deeper connection to the bush by exploring it in a way that seems less intrusive than by vehicle.

Walking Safari

Head out on foot along Motswiri's incredible trails to track and observe wildlife, stopping as and when is needed for an up close inspection of your finds.

Canoe Trips

Silently glide through the waters so as not to disturb elephants and hippos that have come to drink, bathe, and play along the river.

Game Drives

Head out on a short game drive to see some of the wildlife living on the plains closer to camp, such as wild dog and cheetah.

The Pitchers

We had the most amazing time! John Barclay and his team were very special and the mobile safari exclusive and superb. Moremi was very quiet with few other tourists – no more than a dozen other vehicles seen in four days. Macatoo was also excellent with good riding and game. We were so grateful for the help that you offered when our BA flights went wrong. Many thanks again for the superb service and recommendations which made for a great holiday.
