The Selinda Canoe Trail
The Trail begins slightly downstream from Selinda Camp, northeast of the Okavango Delta. We explore the Selinda Spillway eastward following this meandering route through the 300,000 acre Selinda Reserve. We complete the 45 kilometre journey close the convergence of the Linyanti and Kwando waterways.
The 4-day/3-night safari consists of a combined three full days of paddling and three nights in impromptu fly camps along the way. Our stops are not pre-arranged. We begin each day as the peace of dawn is breaking. After an early coffee and light breakfast, we begin the day's adventure. Upon paddling, we may encounter wildlife activity along the spillway's banks, which warrant investigation. We disembark our canoes and begin walking, looking for tracks and signs. Enjoy brunch and a bit of a siesta at mid-day before continuing onward in the afternoon before arriving at our camp site in the late afternoon. Snacks and beverages will be available throughout the day for sustenance.
The area is well known for elephant, buffalo, sable, roan, wild dog and it is possible to encounter cheetah, lion, leopard and a variety of other species. The Spillway is also a birding paradise. Along the route it is likely to see considerable wildlife with little disturbance from too many hippos or crocodiles.
