Setari Camp is located on a picture-perfect palm island in the very heart of the Okavango. Situated within a private concession of 120,000 acres of unspoilt wilderness, exclusivity and seclusion are guaranteed. Enjoy a pure Delta experience, inhabited by a myriad of birdlife and wildlife unique to this exceptional ecosystem. The area is a birder’s paradise, boasting a huge number of migrant birds, aquatic birds, raptors, a seasonal heronry and to top it all, the hauntingly beautiful Pel’s Fishing Owl.
Setari Camp accommodates 20 guests in 8 light and airy tents and 1 suite designed for families. Each tent cleverly combines understated luxury with an authentic and relaxed home-from-home atmosphere. The camp resembles an enormous tree-house where the entire construction is elevated with wooden walkways linking the impressive sitting and dining areas, pool-with-a-view, gym and curio shop. All of the tents have private decks with spectacular views over the Okavango. Safari activities available at Setari include bushwalking, boating or gliding gently through the waterways in a traditional Mokoro (dug-out canoe). Delicious home-cooked food, super-comfy accommodation and superb guiding all combine to making Setari a hidden treasure in the iconic Okavango Delta.
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 access between the tents via an interleading door in the outside showers to ensure safety for younger children. There is also a private decking area in between the tents, ideal for private dining. For al fresco private dining, there is a private deck which extends out over the Okavango.
We have a specially designed tent to meet the needs of those requiring accessible facilities. The bathroom is fully accessible with lower sinks and space for easily moving around in a wheelchair. We also have wheelchairs available in camp for those whose mobility is limited. There are no steps anywhere in camp and the whole camp is built on level walkways.

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.
