Experience the Okavango Delta from a whole new perspective with Great Plains’ thrilling “Heli the Selinda Highway” offer. For guests staying a minimum of six nights across selected Great Plains camps in Botswana, the inter-camp air transfer between the Duba Concession (or Sitatunga Private Island) and the Selinda Reserve will be automatically upgraded to a complimentary helicopter flight — offering a spectacular bird’s-eye view of the flooded Delta below.

This is more than just a transfer — it’s a scenic flight over one of the most remote and wildlife-rich regions of northern Botswana. The journey offers a stunning view of one of the most interesting waterways in Botswana- The Selinda spillway, which links the Okavango and the Linyanti River systems. The 35-minute helicopter journey offers panoramic views of winding waterways, seasonal floodplains, and vast herds of wildlife, delivering a remarkable sense of scale and beauty that can only be appreciated from the air.

To qualify, guests must stay at least six nights in total, combining any of the following Great Plains properties:

• In the Duba Concession: Duba Plains Camp, Duba Plains Suite
• On the Sitatunga Private Island: Sitatunga Private Island or Sitatunga Private Island Suite
• In the Selinda Reserve: Selinda Camp, Selinda Suite, Zarafa Camp, or Zarafa Dhow Suite

The offer is valid for travel between 1 June and 31 October 2025, aligning with the Okavango’s annual flood season, when water levels are at their peak and the Delta landscape is at its most dramatic. A minimum of two guests is required to activate the helicopter transfer.

This complimentary upgrade transforms a standard air transfer into a once-in-a-lifetime scenic safari flight — seamlessly connecting two of Botswana’s most celebrated wildlife areas while delivering exceptional added value. The combination of the Duba Concession and Selinda Reserve offers a uniquely rich and varied safari experience. Duba’s watery wilderness is a mosaic of palm-dotted islands, floodplains, and channels that attract prolific birdlife and iconic predators like lion and leopard. Selinda, in contrast, opens into dry savannahs and riverine forests along the Selinda Spillway, known for large elephant herds, wild dogs, and seasonal migrations. Together, these private concessions showcase the full spectrum of northern Botswana’s ecosystems—lush and arid, aquatic and terrestrial—making them a dream for wildlife lovers and photographers alike. It’s a dynamic, untamed wilderness at its very best.

Please note, this offer cannot be combined with other Great Plains specials. Park fees, conservation levies, and other extras still apply as normal.
