Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of wildlife can we realistically expect to see at Seba Camp, and are there any unique sightings we should look out for?

We love Seba Camp for its incredible predator sightings, particularly wild dogs and lions, which are often seen in the surrounding NG/26 Abu Concession. While you'll certainly encounter the usual suspects like elephants and a plethora of birdlife, keep an eye out for the elusive leopard too. The water channels nearby also attract hippos and crocodiles, making for dynamic game viewing.

What is the best time of year to visit Seba Camp for optimal game viewing and comfortable weather?

For us, the dry season from May to October is unbeatable at Seba Camp. The vegetation thins out, making wildlife easier to spot, and the waterholes become crucial gathering points. Evenings can be cool, so pack layers, but the daytime temperatures are generally pleasant for exploring.

Beyond game drives, what other activities does Seba Camp offer, and are they worth the extra cost?

Seba Camp offers mokoro excursions, which we highly recommend for a unique perspective on the delta's smaller wonders and birdlife. Paddling silently through the channels is a truly serene experience. While game drives are the main draw, these water-based activities provide a wonderful contrast and are well worth it for a fuller appreciation of the ecosystem.

How does Seba Camp balance an authentic safari feel with comfort and luxury?

We find Seba Camp strikes a perfect balance. The tents are spacious and well appointed, offering comfort without feeling overly modern, and the main lodge area is inviting and relaxed. It feels luxurious and timeless, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the wild surroundings without sacrificing essential comforts.

What should we know about safety and health considerations when staying at Seba Camp?

The guides at Seba Camp are exceptionally experienced and prioritize guest safety above all else, both on drives and around the camp. We always advise consulting your doctor regarding malaria precautions for Botswana, and it's wise to use insect repellent, especially at dawn and dusk. The camp itself is unfenced, so always follow your guide's instructions when moving around after dark.
