The Selinda is a private wildlife concession located in Botswana's northern Kwando/Linyanti Wildlife Management Area. It is a 135,000 hectare reserve that straddles the Selinda Spillway, a waterway that links the Okavango Delta to the game-rich floodplains of the Linyanti Swamps and the Zibadianja Lagoon; source of the Savuti Channel.



The Selinda is characterised by its game-rich floodplains. Wildlife includes elephant, cheetah, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, kudu, impala, hippo, hyena, sable, wild dog and lechwe. The lagoon is home to high concentrations of hippo, which attract the famous hippo-killing Selinda lions. Night drives produce an abundance of nocturnal species and an occasional leopard. The region enjoys stunning birdlife and vegetation, which is best viewed in summer from October to April.
