"Setari Camp review"
3 nights Arrived 16 Aug 2021
"We loved this camp. For those who like birds and water, this is it. We had a great guide and very comfortable boats to be out on the water. The activities were well spaced and very relaxing. We saw and learned a lot!"

"Setari Camp review"
3 nights Arrived 16 Aug 2021
"Setari Camp is a water camp, no game drives. We stayed here 3 nights, and the boat explorations made a very relaxing break between two camps with very bouncy Land Cruiser game drives. The rooms were wonderful, and being raised on boardwalks, we were able to go to and from our rooms by ourselves even after dark. The food was excellent.
We saw some animals we didn't see at any other camps, such as Nile crocodiles, water monitor lizards, reedbuck and sitatunga antelopes. But the birds were the real draw here for two of us, and the fishing for the third. The catch here were tigerfish, really beautiful and plentiful. The hour boat ride from the airfield to Setari Camp through endless papyrus with herons flying right and left was amazing.
We also did a mokoro trip here, just delightful, and visited the village by the airstrip. The crafts available to buy there were beautiful, I really coveted some larger baskets than I didn't have luggage room for, but still I bought a number of smaller items for gifts. It was extremely interesting to walk through the village.
Our guide was brilliant at birding. He found a Pel's fishing owl for us, which I had especially hoped for, African skimmers, herons, storks, too many wonderful birds to list. And in the afternoons, between activities, hanging out at the pool I saw many more birds." See all these reviews: 10n in Botswana; 8n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe
