riverside safari tents on the Gomoti River
Local tip
The riverside deck provides a natural setting for breakfast and sunset drinks, while a mokoro experience offers a quieter view of the Delta waterways.

Semowi Nature Camp is a small riverside base at Gomoti, Shorobe, on the edge of the Okavango Delta. Set beside the Gomoti River, the camp has a relaxed, close-to-nature character, with birdsong, hippo calls and changing river light shaping the atmosphere. It suits travellers looking for a quieter safari stay with a choice of comfortable tented accommodation, camping and guided Delta experiences.

Four safari tents provide a comfortable option for visitors who prefer a ready-made stay. Each has an en-suite bathroom with a hot shower, solar-powered lighting, a private riverside deck and either a king or twin bed arrangement. River views and the open setting keep the surrounding landscape part of the experience without removing everyday comforts.

Three private campsites offer a more independent way to stay. The camping area has warm showers, flushing toilets, solar charging points and an electric fence around the site. A restaurant and bar are available on the property, making the campsites suitable for travellers who want to bring camping equipment while retaining access to basic hospitality and facilities.

Dining is informal and rooted in fresh preparation. Local ingredients are used whenever possible, with homemade breads and jams included among the breakfast offering. Breakfast can be served on the deck, while lunch and dinner are available daily. Vegetarian choices are offered, and the restaurant and bar overlook the river, giving meals a natural connection to the setting.

Activities explore the Delta by water, vehicle and on foot. Experiences include sunset river cruises, mokoro excursions, wildlife outings in areas bordering Moremi Game Reserve, village visits and photography classes. A visit to Elephant Havens adds a conservation-focused element. Mokoro trips and river cruises provide a slower way to experience waterways and islands, while vehicle-based activities focus on the wildlife areas near the camp.

Semowi is positioned between Maun and Moremi Game Reserve, making it a practical base for travellers combining town access with time around the Delta. The camp works well for couples, independent campers, photographers and anyone interested in combining simple riverside living with cultural, conservation and wildlife activities in Botswana.
