SEMOWI NATURE CAMP

LIFE ON THE EDGE OF THE OKAVANGO DELTA

Where the Okavango Delta begins

A small owner-run camp on the Gomoti River, where guests wake to the sounds of hippos, watch the sunrise over the water, and experience the wild beauty of Botswana in its most authentic form.

4 Safari Tents · 3 Campsites · Delta Experiences

The Heart of Semowi

Most days at Semowi begin with coffee and birdsong and end with stories shared on the deck. Between the two lies the Okavango Delta: mokoros, wildlife, river sunsets and the simple pleasure of slowing down.

A place where the Delta feels close, real and alive.

{ We enjoyed our first stay at Semowi so much that we returned again before the end of our journey. It became one of the highlights of our travels through Africa, a place we'll always remember with a smile and can't wait to visit again. We stayed at the campsite, but next time we'll be back to experience the beautiful luxury safari tents. The peaceful riverside setting, stylish facilities and exceptional dining create a true oasis in the wilderness. Above all, it was the warm hospitality of Séverine, Morgan and the entire team that made Semowi so unforgettable. We couldn't recommend it more highly. {

{ We were truly impressed by the warm hospitality of Séverine and the entire team. Every member of the staff made us feel genuinely welcome throughout our stay. The facilities were immaculate, the food was exceptional, and the peaceful setting in the heart of nature, surrounded by elephants and overlooking the Gomoti River with its resident hippos, made Semowi an unforgettable place to stay. We wish the whole team every success and can't recommend it highly enough. {

{ We can wholeheartedly recommend a stay at Semowi Nature Camp. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The facilities were spotless, the showers had plenty of hot water, and the beautiful terrace with its restaurant and fire pit was the perfect place to enjoy breathtaking sunrises. Breakfast on the terrace was delicious, and every detail felt thoughtfully cared for. Above all, we'd like to thank Séverine, Morgan and the entire team. Your kindness, support and genuine hospitality made us feel safe, welcome and completely at home throughout our stay. Thank you for everything. If we return to Botswana one day, Semowi will definitely be one of our first stops. {

{ A wonderfully welcoming place to stay in the heart of the Okavango. Beautifully located on the banks of the Gomoti River, Semowi offers the perfect balance of comfort, nature and hospitality. The restaurant is beautifully designed, the food is excellent, and every member of the team is genuinely warm, friendly and attentive. Séverine and Morgan go above and beyond to make every guest feel at home, and it's clear they trust and empower their team, something that shines through in the exceptional service. We couldn't recommend Semowi more highly. {

{ I highly recommend Semowi Nature Camp. I had a wonderful stay, and everything was exceptional. The luxury safari tents overlooking the river at sunrise, the delicious food, the beautiful location, and the warm, welcoming team all made my stay unforgettable. If you're lucky, you may even enjoy some incredible wildlife encounters right around camp. Semowi is the perfect stop before or after exploring Moremi or Khwai. Thank you for such a warm welcome, in both English and French. I'll be delighted to return on my next trip to Botswana. {
