Location
Zarafa Camp (formerly known as Zibalianja Camp),
overlooks the Zibadianja Lagoon - the source of the world famous Savute
Channel. Zarafa Camp evokes a sense of old-style safari with its four
large, luxuriously appointed double or twin 'marquis style' tents.
Hosting a maximum of eight guests, the emphasis at Zarafa Camp is
on offering a personalised and private experience to guests - perfect
for those who favour a more intimate experience or those who prefer
the entire camp for their own, exclusive use. Zarafa Camp boasts all
of the Chobe wildlife, 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 while a wide variety of birds - some 300 or more - can be
seen.
