Tembo Plains Hidecam

From elephants wandering past the water’s edge to hippos, crocodiles, vibrant birdlife, and unforgettable sunsets, this is your front-row seat to the wild.

Look out for:

• Antelopes and elephants passing by
• Hippos grazing
• Prolific birdlife
• Dramatic sunsets and electric storms over the river

Tembo Plains and The Zanji Suite at Tembo Plains are also members of our Réserve-Collection safari camps, and a proudly Relais & Châteaux member property, offering refined comfort in the wild.

The Basin Hidecam

Set along a quiet oxbow waterway, The Basin Hidecam, 5km away from Selinda Camp, our Réserve-Collection, and Relais & Châteaux member, safari camp in the private Selinda Reserve of Botswana, captures exciting water-edge wildlife scenes. Although the water may be too shallow for hippos and crocodiles at times, it is a favourite drinking area for elephants and giraffes. The vegetation also attracts a wide variety of antelope and smaller wildlife to graze along the banks and quench their thirst, creating a constant flow of activity.

Watch for:

• Elephants and giraffes drinking at the water’s edge
• Plains game pausing to refresh in the cool of the day
• Birdlife in abundance — especially African Fish Eagles whose haunting calls echo overhead as they scan for fish
• Subtle activity at dawn and dusk, when nocturnal visitors may pass through
• The shifting light on the oxbow, from soft sunrise hues to glowing evening tones

The Basin brings a tranquil, water-edge perspective to our Selinda Reserve hidecam collection, immersing you in both the sounds and sights of this special corner of this special reserve.

Twin Pan Hidecam

The Twin Pan hidecam is 8.5km away from our Zarafa Camp, a Réserve-Collection and Relais & Châteaux safari camp member, located in the private Selinda Reserve, Botswana.

This hidecam offers a panoramic view of two adjoining seasonal pans — a perfect stage for wildlife in motion. As the pans fill after rain, they attract herds of elephant and buffalo, alongside a variety of plains game and the predators that follow. With clear skies overhead, the reflections in shallow water make for striking visuals and memorable sightings.

Keep your eyes peeled for:

• Large gatherings of elephant or buffalo when the pans brim
• Plains game, such as zebra, drawn to the water or possibly a sighting of rare sable antelope coming to drink
• Predators like lions or spotted hyenas appearing at dawn or dusk
• Resident birdlife: egrets, storks, kingfishers and more
• Dramatic skies — lightning storms, glowing sunsets, and shimmering reflections

Twin Pan is part of our Selinda Reserve hidecam collection, offering a sweeping view into the daily rhythms of life on the floodplain.
