By Roxanne Reid We had stayed at Selinda Camp, Linyanti, before but now it had been re-imagined and rebuilt so it was like visiting a completely different camp. It lies in a remote wilderness on the Selinda Reserve, surrounded by big game and imbued with the authentic spirit of Africa. Here’s why to add it to a Botswana safari. By Roxanne Reid Your first sight of the Namushasha River Villa – a floating oasis moored on a channel on the Kwando River in the Zambezi (Caprivi) region of Namibia – will have you gaping in wonder. You’ll be chuffed to stay on this romantic craft surrounded by water channels and water lilies next to a national park. It's one of Namibia’s superb Zambezi lodges. By Roxanne Reid There’s something remarkable about the Kalahari, a wilderness magic that saturates its open spaces, scents the air, fluffs up the clouds and is carried on the wind. A place so timeless you can pass almost unnoticed. When we got the chance to visit Kalahari Plains Camp in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve in Botswana, we hurried to pack our safari bags. By Roxanne Reid Life should be made of moments like these. We’re on the deck overlooking the natural bush of northern Namibia at dawn. A pink sunrise unravels through the clouds as a jackal yelps in the distance and a spurfowl chuck-chucks nearby. We’re at Anderssons at Ongava Game Reserve bordering Etosha; our day of wild immersion has just begun. |
