Seba camp is situated in the Abu concession although it is run very separately to its sister camp, Abu. The lodge is in the area that is used for elephant research and it is possible to meet some of the researchers from time to time and discuss their findings at length.
This area is not very well known for high densities of game but is in a very wild area and the camp itself is situated on a pretty and small lagoon.
The real benefit of this camp is that it suits families and they are very flexible with the minimum age limited for children.
Activities here are mostly land based which then expand to water based activities when the Delta floods come in.

Wildlife
The area reminds me of the water-inundated areas of the Okavango Delta, the habitats around Seba Camp vary from open grasslands to secluded island sanctuaries and papyrus-fringed channels, allowing for an abundance of general game viewing: from giraffe, zebra, elephant, impala, tsessebe and lechwe to wildebeest, buffalo and warthog. Lions often move through the concession as well and can sometimes be heard roaring at night.
The camp is named after Seba, one of the elephants historically released from nearby Abu Camp. As a baby, Seba starred in the Walt Disney movie, Whispers, that was filmed in the area. The word “seba” means whisper in the local language.
He and a number of elephants that were released back into the wild have now formed their own herd near Seba Camp. The interaction between these elephants and the wild elephant herds in the area provides rich fodder for research teams from Bristol University in the UK. Guests can observe the researchers at work, often in close proximity to the elephant herds. Guides are always happy to drive visitors to see a released elephant and its wild companions when they are in the vicinity of Seba Camp.
At around 180 000 hectares, the Seba Camp concession is ideally placed in the Okavango Delta for excellent bird viewing by mokoro. Particularly exciting sights include: the Malachite Kingfisher, White-browed Coucal, Luapula Cisticola, Pied Kingfisher, Rufous-bellied Heron and Great Egret.

Seba is family-friendly, complete with family villa with two interleading en-suite bedrooms, a built-in ‘tree-house’ and a kids’ swimming pool and sandpit. The dining area is set on a raised saligna deck with spectacular views.
Well-lit paths lead to the communal dining area, bar and a lounge-library – replete with reference and pictorial books. As they are raised on a saligna deck, spectacular vistas greet guests in all these areas. Seba Camp also has a secluded swimming pool to refresh and relax in after a game drive.
Gourmet meals are served, usually al fresco, in the dining area: five-star cuisine and superb dinners follow cocktails shared by guests, researchers and guides around a traditional campfire.
