Gomoti Plains Camp
Okavango Delta, Botswana

Gomoti Plains Camp Experience

Named after the indigenous Gomoti trees that line the waterways, providing shade for local animals and cover for nesting water birds such as herons and stork, Gomoti Plains Camp is a chic, modern camp that pairs perfectly with the beauty of the natural surrounds, as well as the diversity of Okavango Delta safari activities on offer.

Nestled into this evergreen, riverine woodland, the main area of the camp comprises of a canvas-covered lounge and dining room built on slightly raised wooden decks overlooking a shallow lagoon on the Gomoti River. Typically, dining takes place outside under the shade during lunch time or right under the stars at night. The decor is clean and elegant in its simplicity, while outside, expect to discover the communal campfire ringed by comfy camp chairs, the perfect place for enjoying the natural surrounds, refreshing drink in hand.

Each room features a shaded front timber deck which together with the floor-to-ceiling mesh sides, allow sweeping views of the outdoor surrounds, and welcome a cooling breeze. The en-suite bathrooms offer twin basins, with indoor and outdoor showers. There is also electricity available for charging your electronics.

Gomoti Plains Activities

Gomoti Plains offers a full spectrum of activities for adventure-seekers. From game drives (day and night) in open Land Cruisers to getting out on the water on a traditional mokoro. Both are peaceful and exhilarating, offering you the chance to see hippos and crocodiles (from a motorboat) lurking in the river. You can even try your hand at a spot of fishing.

Last but not least, walking safaris will encourage you to use all of your senses as your tracker-guide leads you through the too-often unnoticed world of plants, trees, reptiles and insects. These leisurely walks are conducted in the morning with armed guides, depending on the weather.
