Botswana Setari Okavango

Setari was a water camp, i.e. all expeditions were by boat or Makoro. The camp was on an island surrounded by water channels - and it was built on stilts, so that the whole camp and its walkways were about 10 feet or so above the ground. This in hope, but not necessarily in expectation, that if the rains from Namibia really came on strong then Setari would be a water camp in reality. The were only two or three other guests, so I had a boat to myself, with Seretze, (alias The General) as pilot and Shaggy as spotter. It was heaven, as we could go as fast or slow as we liked, and could happily drift with the current. The Kingfishers were amazing and we spent an inordinate amount of time watching the broad-billed buffalo weavers building their delicate nests in the reeds. For me, this was a really special camp.
