Okavango Delta
Gomoti Plains Camp is located in a community run private concession, on the edge of the Gomoti river system southeast of the Okavango Delta. The camp is named after the Gomoti tree - locally known as the water fig - which grows alongside the waterways in the Okavango Delta and and provide excellent cover for nesting water birds such as herons and storks.
Game drives are conducted in the mornings and afternoon/evenings, and usually last about 3 hours each and are conducted along the river systems and flood plains around the camp. The wildlife in the area is prolific and chances are good to see some of the larger predators, herds of elephant, buffalo and all the plains animals that occur here. Night drives are conducted in the early evening offering one a chance to see the smaller more nocturnal animals with spotlights.
Walking safaris are also conducted generally in the morning with armed guides. The walks are leisurely and time is taken to observe the smaller things in the bush that one normally misses when driving. Walking is weather dependent, or dependent on the condition of the terrain.
You can also choose to go out in a mokoro, a dug out canoe poled by an experienced poler in the shallower waters of the Okavango. It is a great way to see the waterways and is tranquil and quiet. These excursions take place in the mornings or longer day trips can be arranged. Explore the islands around camp and come back rested and rejuvenated.
The camp has 10 luxury tents which include 2 luxury family tents and 8 luxury double tents, all with en-suite bathroom facilities. All tents are slightly raised on wooden decks overlooking the Gomoti river system.
The food is a wonderful mixture of local cuisine flavoured and cooked in good old fashion home style cooking. The camp will try and eat under the stars at night and vary the dining experiences with every meal.
