ABOUT SENYATI
WHERE WILDLIFE COMES TO YOU
Set in the Lesoma Valley near Kasane, Botswana, Senyati Safari Camp has grown from a piece of bush into a place with its own character. Shaped by Louw and Lulu Barnard, the camp has always been about staying close to nature, experiencing wildlife up close and feeling at home in the bush.
from the bush to senyati
In 2008, Louw Barnard began developing the land that would become Senyati. Together with Lulu, he has grown it into a place where guests can stay close to nature and experience wildlife in a way that feels personal and unfiltered
At the heart of Senyati is its floodlit waterhole. There are no fences between the animals and the water, allowing elephants, buffalo and other wildlife to come and go throughout the day and into the night. Guests can watch from the deck or head down into the underground bunker for a completely different view.
Over the years, Senyati has grown to offer campsites, self-catering chalets and the Chobe Glamper, but the reason for being here has stayed the same.
To give people a place where the wildlife comes to them.
More than a place to stay
Today, Louw and Lulu are still at the heart of Senyati. What they have created is not just a place to sleep, but a camp shaped around the wildlife that passes through it and the people who come to experience it.
Some days are spent exploring Chobe National Park or the Chobe River. Others are spent right here, watching elephants gather at the waterhole, enjoying a drink on the deck or seeing what arrives after dark.
At Senyati, the bush is not something you have to go looking for. It is part of where you stay.
