The Basin Hide Cam | Selinda Reserve, Botswana

Live from The Basin, 5km from Selinda Camp in Botswana's Selinda Reserve - a favourite drinking spot for elephants, giraffe and Fish Eagles echoing across the water.

Welcome to the Basin Hidecam, located along a quiet waterway in Selinda Reserve, just 5km from Great Plains Conservation's Réserve-Collection safari camp, Selinda Camp. Selinda Camp is also a member of the prestigious Relais & Châteaux association.

Although shallow, this oxbow is a favourite drinking spot for elephants and giraffes, and a regular gathering point for plains game grazing its lush banks. It is also a haven for birdlife, especially African Fish Eagles whose calls echo overhead as they patrol the skies in search of fish. With shifting light throughout the day, Oxbow offers a tranquil yet dynamic stage for observing the Selinda Reserve's daily rhythms.

Here, mornings often reveal soft-lit activity at the water's edge, afternoons bring herds of thirsty elephants, and evenings settle into the calls of night creatures beginning their watch.

By streaming The Basin Hidecam, you are joining Great Plains Conservation in its mission to protect Africa's wild spaces, restore habitats, and support local communities through sustainable tourism.

Watch Africa's wild heart unfold as elephants and other wildlife gather to drink and cool off at this remote waterhole. The Basin offers an intimate window into the daily life of Botswana's bush, from gentle morning grazes to bustling afternoon herds.
