Setari Camp is an adventurer's paradise, tucked into a forested island in northern Botswana's Okavango Delta. Surrounded by year-round water in an otherwise seasonally flooded floodplain, this new camp lies right at the foot of the panhandle, where the Okavango River spreads across the Kalahari Basin. For anyone who enjoys watching game while afloat, there are myriad channels, lagoons and oxbow lakes to explore... The tents are stilted, tucked among foliage, and are on the luxurious side of comfortable. Don't expect huge numbers of big game, but the birdlife is extraordinary, and the wilderness is magnetic.

Elevated walkways lead to eight tented suites and one family tent, all built of canvas with solid-wood beams, and also raised on platforms. Real care has been taken in the overall design – the interiors are that agreeable combination of comfort and luxury. The extra-long king-sized bed is fitted with crisp sheets, there's a free-standing bathtub, a large walk-in shower, and an outdoor shower-with-a-view. The family tent consists of two adjoining tents, each with an en-suite bathroom and outdoor shower.
Guided walking safaris on one of the islands are truly magical. It's an incredible way to get acquainted with the environment.
For a perfectly balanced Delta experience, combine a visit to Setari with a stay at a drier, land-based camp in the area.
