Zibadianja Camp is moving to a great new site that looks towards the Zibadianja Lagoon. The new site is about 2km south-east from the old camp and is situated in the eastern sector of the Selinda Reserve under ancient Jackalberry and Red Ivory forests. The view, the shady trees and the high wildlife concentrations characterise the camp as does the elevated views across the flood plain that forms an extension of Zibadianja Lagoon’s southern shores.

ACCOMMODATION:
This Premier quality camp has four large and luxuriously appointed double or twin “marquis style” tents that accommodate a maximum of 6 Guests. It is perfect for small groups who are looking for privacy. (At times we may be able to accommodate a private group of up to 8 guests). Each "campaign furnished tent" is expansive (10mx18m) and is positioned to emphasise the spectacular view. Each tent comprises a spacious bedroom, an en suite bathroom with copper bath & shower, and an outdoor shower as well as a separate and comfortable lounge. Hot water is available 24 hours a day. A large shady veranda is standard as are private pools, overhead fans and mosquito nets.

The Main Area:
Continuing the marquis style of the accommodation, the main area is all under canvas with an emphasis on the view and the wildlife viewing out front. Furnished in the same ‘campaign’ style furniture, the main area evokes the wonderful and traditional safari ambiance. Lounge and dining facilities may be enjoyed under cover or on the full length deck shaded by giant broadleaf trees.

Pool:
Each guest tent at Zibadianja will have its own private plunge pool looking onto the plains of Selinda.

Meals:
All meals are table d’hôte and include a light breakfast at dawn, a hearty brunch on return from the morning activity, afternoon tea and snacks before the afternoon activity, rounded off with a three course dinner in the evening. Special meals and requirements can be catered for on request. All local drinks are included in the tariff. One of the advantages of a small camp is that we can be flexible with meal times and can adjust meal times to suit wildlife sightings and individual guest's preferences.

ACTIVITIES:
There is no set routine at Zibadianja. We are small enough to be flexible. However, from experience, we recommend that activities are conducted when the wildlife is most active. Generally we explore the reserve in the early morning, late afternoon and at night. The midday siesta time can be spent at one of our waterholes. Zibadianja Camp is located at a brilliant wildlife area and most often the best wildlife viewing at midday will be from your room! Wildlife drives are the primary activity and are conducted in our open, new Toyota Landcruisers specifically adapted for our conditions. Walking is also encouraged and can either be a short walk from camp or as a full morning’s activity. Walks are led by licensed guides who are firearm experienced. A private vehicle and guide service is available, but must be booked in advance.
