About Seba Camp
Set in an ancient riverine forest in the heart of Botswana's magical Okavango Delta, Seba Camp offers secluded, luxurious accommodation overlooking a lagoon and seasonal floodplain teeming with animal and bird life.
Guests can enjoy more than just game viewing, as the camp serves as a base for unique research on elephant behaviour and is a regular centre for wildlife film-makers.
The camp is named after Seba, a young bull elephant who was part of Randall Moore's pioneering elephant-back safaris out of Abu Camp, located a few kilometres away.
Seba was released back into the wild, where he joined other trained elephants previously released by Moore.
The herd has remained in the vicinity of the camps, and the interaction between these released elephants and the wild herds that traverse the area provides a rich field for research teams from Bristol University in the United Kingdom.
Guests at Seba are invited to observe the researchers at work, often in close proximity to the elephant herds.
Accommodation
Seba Camp has five well-appointed, spacious, elevated tents, designed to blend seamlessly into the Okavango landscape.
Each tent features an en-suite bathroom and a private deck where guests can relax and observe the passing wildlife in and around the perennial lagoon.
The dining and bar areas are also set on a raised deck, offering spectacular views of the surrounding wilderness.
Seba Camp is situated in an ancient riverine forest surrounded by open grasslands and island sanctuaries.
The large canvas dining, bar, and lounge area is set on a raised teak deck, ideal for enjoying sundowners around a traditional campfire.
