Zibalianja Camp is a small, intimate tented safari camp situated on a palm island on the edge of Botswana's northern Linyanti Swamps. Close by is the lagoon after which the camp is named. There are panoramic views of open floodplains dotted with palms. The Selinda private wildlife concession straddles the Selinda Spillway which is the only ephemeral waterway linking the Okavango to the Linyanti swamps. The area is rich in game and has the second highest concentration of elephant in Southern Africa. Particularly well known for its hippo-killing lions and healthy wild dog population. The open nature of the floodplains makes this an excellent area for cheetah viewing. AT A GLANCE
