Gomoti Plains Camp
Okavango Delta, Botswana
Ideally set in a cool sheltered spot beneath a canopy of mature
acacia trees, Gomoti Plains Camp is situated on the edge of the
Gomoti River system and flood plains in the centre of the
Okavango Delta in Botswana. Gomoti Plains is made up of eight
classic safari tents and two family tents. Each tent is tastefully
furnished with safari-style décor and is equipped with stunning
teak chairs and a wardrobe. All raised on wooden decks, the
tents boast great views of the flood plains beyond, and each
room has a shaded veranda. The two family units comprise two
spacious bedrooms with an adjoining living room in between.
Behind the living area is a shared bathroom with an indoor and
outdoor shower with hot and cold running water, flush loos and
twin basins. Nestled into evergreen riparian woodland, the
main area includes a beautifully outfitted large mess tent full
of colour and style, housing the dining area and lounge, a
perfect spot to relax in between morning and afternoon
activities. By night, the camp is illuminated by solar power
lighting and paraffin lamps, which emit a gentle romantic glow.
Each evening, guests are invited for pre-dinner drinks around
the camp fire to share stories with their fellow travellers and
guides. Typically, dining takes place outside either under the
shade or under the stars. The food served is an excellent
mixture of local cuisine flavoured and good old fashioned home-
style cooking. Game drives take you along the river system and
flood plains, or you can choose to take to the water in a mekoro
canoe. Glide along the tranquil waterways and enjoy the Delta
and its wildlife from a different angle, a wonderful tranquil way
to explore the waterways.
