DAY 1

During the trip towards Seliba, you’ll make a stop for an interactive cassava workshop. Mrs. Edna will show you everything about processing cassava, and you’ll get hands-on with this traditional product. Of course, you’ll also taste all the delicious treats made together.

Afterward, it’s time to continue by bus to Ayo plantation. From there, you will board the boat and slowly see Seliba River Glamping appear in the distance.

DAY 2

Wake up wonderfully to the sound of howler monkeys. These monkeys live on the small island opposite Seliba. Every morning is a true concert of monkey roars and chirping birds. Seliba is the place where you can see rare birds up close. The toucans and hummingbirds literally fly around you.

After breakfast, you depart by boat towards the Jodensavanne. Here, you dive into the history of the first Jewish settlement in Suriname during the tour. This site has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2023. You return to Seliba for lunch.

You have plenty of time to relax in this lovely spot. As the sun sets, you can seek the adventure of the jungle with an exciting evening walk.

DAY 3

In the early morning, you will head out onto the water for a special boat tour. During this early morning boat tour, you will sail along the banks, where, with a bit of luck, you may spot various animals. At the same time, you can enjoy the tranquility and the beautiful morning glow from the water. A unique way to start the day.

After breakfast, you still have time for a refreshing dip in the pool or some activities on the river. You can take a stand-up paddleboard out on the water or cast a fishing line. Once we’ve had lunch, it’s time to say goodbye to this magical place in Suriname. Time to trade your glamping tipi for the bus ride to Paramaribo.

Afterward, it’s time to continue by bus to Ayo plantation. From there, you will board the boat and slowly see Seliba River Glamping appear in the distance.

WILDLIFE YOU CAN ENCOUNTER AT SELIBA

Bare-necked Fruitcrow

This distinctive bird can be found in the tropical forests of Suriname, including the Seliba area. Males are easily recognised by their glossy black plumage and striking bare, bluish neck, while females are slightly duller in appearance. These birds thrive in the forest canopy, where they feed primarily on fruit, playing a crucial role in seed dispersal. In Seliba, they can often be spotted perched high in the trees or heard making their deep, resonant calls, especially in the early morning. Keep an eye out for their slow, deliberate flight as they move between fruiting trees.

Aquatic Coral Snake

(Micrurus surinamensis)

This striking and highly venomous snake can be found in the freshwater habitats of Suriname, including the rivers and wetlands around Seliba. Recognizable by its bold black and yellow bands with red markings, this semi-aquatic species is an excellent swimmer. Spotting this rare serpent in Seliba’s waterways is a unique experience, showcasing the incredible biodiversity of the region.

Emeral Tree Boa

(Corallus caninus)

The Emerald Tree Boa is a stunning non-venomous snake found in the lush rainforests of Suriname, including the Seliba region. Its vibrant green coloration, often patterned with white zigzag markings, provides excellent camouflage among the dense foliage. This arboreal predator is known for its strong prehensile tail, which helps it grip branches as it ambushes prey like birds and small mammals. Despite its fierce appearance and impressive size, it is a calm and slow-moving species, typically seen coiled around branches during the day. Spotting one in Seliba’s forests is a true highlight for any wildlife enthusiast!
