Setari Camp enjoys an idyllic island setting on a 50,000-hectare private concession in the Okavango Delta’s Panhandle region. The island is dotted with palm trees, is thick with riverine vegetation and offers an exclusive, water-based safari experience. Water activities are available all year round as it is situated on a permanent channel in the heart of the Okavango Delta. Travel by boat through the ever-winding papyrus channels, or explore the floodplains by Mokoro, immersing yourself with scenery that is tranquil and peaceful.

This is a birders paradise boasting a huge number of migrant birds, aquatic birds, raptors, a seasonal heronry and to top it all, the elusive and beautiful Pel’s Fishing Owl. Setari Camp is Setswana for ‘Tree’ and has been lovingly designed to integrate the giant riverine forest and palms trees which dominate the island. Winding walkways, high above the ground, interlink the tents, dining area, sitting room, pool and gym, creating a massive treehouse from which to enjoy the amazing views over the crystal-clear channels and papyrus beds beyond. All of Setari Camp’s nine large tented rooms, one being a family unit, feature ensuite bathrooms with separate loo, outdoor shower and bathtub.

The central camp facilities under thatch include the dining area and a comfy indoor lounge. Outdoors, Setari Camp has a well shaded relaxation area and swimming pool with a view. Electricity supply is available with certain limitations. The permanent waters of the Okavango Delta’s region are renowned for their aquatic wildlife. Larger water dependent animals such as hippo and crocodile are frequently seen. The island is also home to the rare and regal Sitatunga antelope as well as bushbuck, a resident leopard, baboons and a lone hyena. Pristine watery wilderness, exclusivity and seclusion are guaranteed!
