There are ten luxury tents, including two family units which can sleep four. The spacious tents sit raised on wooden decks and are decorated in a classic safari style with straight canvas lines, crisp white linen and other earthy tones. Each room has a shaded front verandah which together with the floor-to-ceiling mesh sides, allow sweeping views of the river and surrounding bush. Ensuite bathrooms have twin basins and indoor and outdoor showers and there's electricity available for charging appliances.
Predator viewing here is about as good as it gets, with a decent chance of seeing wild dogs, cheetah, leopards, hyenas and lions.
Take it easy on your deck and soak up your front row view of the Gomoti River, full of fantastic bird life.
Gomoti Plains offers the best of the Okavango - great game viewing and the full range of activities to make the best of it. The comfortable, friendly atmosphere is a bonus.
