Semowi Campsites offer 3 campsites and 4 luxury tents. Contact us for more availability in the tents The restaurant/bar/lounge has a beautiful view on the river. You can eat or have a drink while watching the hippos and crocodiles. The sunrise is spectacular from the deck. The full camp is running on solar panels and only one campsite can be easily connected to the power. Our guests are welcome to charge their phones at the main deck and will find a free wifi there. We are ideally situated half way between Maun and Moremi and located in a beautiful and peaceful area, surrounded by nature. This is the perfect place to enjoy nature and get away from the city noise. You will be able to enjoy river view, walk around the farm or meet the animals. Cars stay on the north side of the property. It's important for us to keep nature and to not disturb it. The farm has a lot of different animals that you can see and also touch. We have goats, chicken, and dogs. All are very friendly. If you love birds, our farm is an incredible place to observe them. We are looking forward to welcoming you at our nature farm.

Severine was born in Switzerland and worked as a nurse for 10 years in Lausanne before deciding to relocate for the USA. She lived 15 years in Jacksonville, Florida, where she created a successful photography studio in the Sunshine state of Florida. She speaks French and English. Morgan has 20 years of experience in the service industry; he worked as a professional guide for many years and enjoyed everything outside. Morgan speaks English and Setswana.

You will find many hippos in the river right in front of the main deck and you can enjoy the view while eating or drinking. Crocodiles are also permanent resident of the river. It is not usual to have the visit of wild elephants that come to enjoy a bath.
