The spirit of Gomoti Plains Camp
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 floodplains 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 floodplains 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 campfire 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 floodplains, 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.

Gomoti Plains is made up of only 10 Meru-styles tents all elevated onto wooded decks to make sure you wake up with a view. Each tent has an en suite bathroom with hot water, double beds, a desk and a private patio. If you decide to book a family tent you will also have your own lounge. For something a bit more “natural” there are also outdoor showers if you would like to opt for something a bit different.

Before we move on to the main area and activities, we should mention the in-room massages if you would like to take relaxation to the next step.

At the main area you will find the dining area, pool, viewing deck and outdoor lounge, all decorated with a modern safari twist. Before dinner you are all invited for pre-dinner drinks around the fire place to meet the other holiday-goers.

During the day you can take on the water or land for some exploration. Take it slow on the mokoro canoe, glide on the water and go fishing or go for the classic safari experience to witness the big five take on the wild. If you keep a good look out you might even catch a glimpse of the wild dogs.

Gomoti Plains is family friendly and the kids can explore the camp safely while you relax by the pool. The guides will make sure you won’t miss a thing on your trip. At the end of the day the only thing you need to focus on is your nightcap and the animal sounds in the distance.
