{ Nature at its finest. Fall asleep to the chorus of frogs and wake up to the sounds of hippos along the river. The luxury safari tents are beautifully designed, with thoughtful details throughout and a wonderful outdoor shower that lets you feel completely immersed in nature. Séverine, Morgan and the team made us feel incredibly welcome. It's the perfect place to slow down, relax with a book and simply unwind. We would highly recommend Semowi and can't wait to return. {

{ I stayed at Semovi 2 weeks ago the first time. I’m in Maun 3-4 times a year receiving my clients to show them the best of Botswana’s bush. From here on I will make Semowi my base camp. Their location is still comfortable close enough to Maun but in the bush, hippos galore giving a great concert every night, Hyenas adding to the atmosphere. The tents can compete quite easily with Sanctuary, Wilderness and others. Their service, food and ambiance is perfectly managed. (Might have to do with the Swiss/Motswana couple being there 24/7) Margaritas like in Mexico anyone? Morgan guided many VIPs as a former Tuli resident. I can not recommend Semowi enough, it was a perfect retreat after a hard day’s work in Maun. Merci beaucoup Séverine - kea leboga Morgan {

{ Semowi Nature Camp is a hidden gem near Shorobe, Botswana. The luxury safari tents are beautifully designed, spacious and exceptionally comfortable, each with a private veranda overlooking the river. The peaceful setting, surrounded by wildlife, makes it the perfect place to relax and unwind. Séverine, Morgan and their friendly team gave us a wonderfully warm welcome and made our stay truly memorable. The meals were excellent, the lodge and terrace are beautiful, and every detail has been thoughtfully considered. We highly recommend Semowi and can't wait to return. {

{ Séverine and Morgan gave us a warm welcome and showed us around the camp. Semowi offers spacious private campsites with braai areas, beautiful luxury safari tents with private terraces overlooking the river, and a lovely bar and restaurant. The ablution facilities are excellent and everything is exceptionally well maintained. The camp is protected by an electric fence because of the resident hippos, allowing you to enjoy the surrounding wildlife with peace of mind. The drive is straightforward thanks to the clear signage, and Séverine is happy to send detailed directions before your arrival. Elephant Havens is also just a short drive away and well worth a visit for an unforgettable experience with rescued baby elephants. {

{ Semowi is a marvelous place with tents overlooking the beautiful gomoti river. We saw hippos, saddlebilled storks, fish eagle and elephants in the distance. Severine and Morgan are wonderful people, very accommodating and helpful, happy to share any advices. The spot is close to Moremi and Khwai, both stunning with an abundance of wildlife. I can highly recommend this marvelous spot and look forward to come again! Beautiful tents with en suite bathroom plus outdoor showers. Very good in shape. Delicious food made by the local team. Amazing breakfast! Janine {

{ We spent 3 wonderful nights at Semowi, and everything about our stay was perfect. The tent was well-equipped and offered beautiful views over the river. Severine and Morgan, the owners, were incredibly courteous and helpful, as were all the staff we met. The food was excellent — we tried breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and everything was delicious. We also easily arranged a game drive, which turned out to be a fantastic experience with plenty of wildlife sightings. A truly memorable stay in the heart of nature! {

{ I highly recommend Semowi Nature Camp. This little paradise, surrounded by nature, is the perfect place to relax and reconnect with the wilderness. The luxury safari tents are beautiful, spacious and incredibly comfortable, while the warm and friendly team makes you feel at home from the moment you arrive. The views over the Gomoti River are simply unforgettable, with the chance to spot hippos and even elephants right from camp. A place not to be missed! {

{ It's incredible what Severine and Morgan have created there in the bush. Very sturdy tents with terrace and river view. Everything is furnished with attention to detail, simply perfect for feeling good, relaxing & recharging your batteries! Going to bed with "bush baby" in the evening - what a lovely idea! Great terrace, great (😉organic) food, great people! {
