{ A beautiful location with excellent facilities and hot showers, but what truly made our stay special was the personalised advice from Séverine and Morgan. Their recommendations for our onward journey through Moremi and Chobe were invaluable. We also enjoyed an unforgettable mokoro excursion and guided bush walks, making our time at Semowi one of the highlights of our Botswana adventure." {

{ From our very first enquiry, Séverine was incredibly helpful, making the planning process easy and enjoyable. We received a warm welcome throughout our stay, and the campsite was clean, comfortable and exactly what we were looking for. The views from the terrace were beautiful, dinner was delicious, and the mokoro excursion we booked through Semowi was an unforgettable experience that exceeded all our expectations. Thank you for a wonderful stay! {

{ Everything about our stay was exceptional. Morgan and Séverine were incredibly warm and welcoming hosts. We stayed in Kubu, a beautiful luxury safari tent overlooking the Gomoti River, where we fell asleep to the sounds of hippos and birds, watched elephants across the water, and enjoyed breathtaking sunsets and star-filled nights. Breakfast and dinner on the terrace were delicious, with beautiful river views completing every meal. The highlight of our stay, however, was the game drive. It was an unforgettable experience and, in our opinion, even more exciting than the safari we had in Chobe National Park. Morgan's knowledge, experience and passion as a guide made every moment truly special." {
