There are 8 standard light and airy tented 'suites'. Each of the tents are elevated on stilts and accessed via wooden walkways and private decks with superb views from which to watch the sunset with a G & T! The tents can all be made into doubles or twins and have comfy sofas, fan, mosquito net, armchairs, safes, desks and en-suite bathrooms. Each bathroom has a free-standing bath, shower, loo and outside shower-with-a-view. The beds are all extra length and when made into a double, are super king size.
The family tent comprises 2 'standard' tents situated together sharing a massive deck! Each tent has an en-suite bathroom with adjoining outside shower so that mum and dad can keep an eye on the kids but enjoy a little privacy! Both tents can be configured as doubles or singles and each have extra length beds, mosquito net, fan, desk and comfy sofa. The family tent has 2 en-suite bathrooms with free-standing bath, shower, loo and outside shower. There is also a private decking area in between the tents, ideal for private dining.

Setari Camp offers a range of boating activities including cruises in the nearby lagoons and waterways in their boats. Two of the boats have a viewing deck which make the ideal spot to enjoy the spectacular sunsets with a glass of bubbly and to view this marvellous ecosystem and its resident wildlife. The largest boat can take a maximum of 10 guests and the other 2 can take 8 guests each. Boat safaris are offered inclusive in the cost and go out twice a day with expert professional guides.
In our view, there is no better way to immerse yourself in the bush than by going on a bush walk! We offer walking safaris on the islands to the south of the concession. Each of the walks is guided by one of our professional guides who is armed. We take a maximum of 8 people on a walking safari and each walk is accompanied by both guide and back up guide. Unfortunately, we do not accept children younger than 12 years old on our bush walks.
Fishing in available at Setari and tackle and rods are provided. Spend a lazy afternoon trying your hand at fishing with your professional guide exploring the lagoons or main channels. The fishing at Setari is amazing and the Barbel run between August and end of October makes for an exhilarating sport for the keen fisherman with tiger fish in abundance.
For guests spending 3 nights with us, we offer a full day out exploring the Okavango. We leave early in the morning and travel by boat to the South of the concession to the idyllic islands where we go on a bush walk before having a picnic. A leisurely boat ride back in the afternoon affords the opportunity to watch the sun setting before reaching camp. A fantastic way to spend the day!
Our airstrip is located on the beautiful and remote Jao Village, a small and isolated island with approximately 400 inhabitants. We offer the opportunity to go and visit the villagers and to see their fascinating way of life.
We offer a chance to glide through the waters of the Okavango in a traditional Mokoro which is a dug-out canoe navigated by an expert poler. Spot the exquisite malachite kingfisher or marvel at the crystal clear waters.
Dining At Setari
We offer a wide range of fresh and nutritious meals at Setari all prepared by our wonderful resident chefs. Meals are either served under thatch in the impressive main area or al fresco on the deck. We can cater for vegetarians and vegans. We can also organise private dinners to be served in the comfort and privacy of your tent or on your own viewing deck.
