Sepupa Swamp Stop
Sepupa
A small village and riverside camp at the southeast end of the Panhandle. Fishing, motorboat trips along the river and boats to Seronga all depart from here.
Sepupa lies on the west bank of the lower Panhandle, beside the A35 road, making it the most accessible riverside base in this stretch. The Sepupa Swamp Stop camp on the edge of the village offers campsites, tent cabins and a bar. Visitors can rent motorboats to cruise the papyrus channels, fish for tigerfish and bream, and watch hippos and waterbirds. Boats across to Seronga on the opposite bank also leave from here, and canoe trips can be arranged. The camp is also the main departure point for houseboat routes. The drive from Maun takes about 4 hours on a sealed road. Fishing requires a permit, and during the rainy season (December–March), some channels are clogged with weed and hard to navigate.
Opening hours
Camp open all day; boat trips require reservation
