"Gomoti Plains Camp review"
The tents were very spacious, well-equipped and comfortable. This was the first time we had stayed in a camp with the benefits of round-the-clock electricity thanks to solar panels and battery arrays.
The staff were lovely and so helpful." See all these reviews: 10n in Botswana

"Gomoti Plains Camp review"
Safari drives and boat trip on the river were all exciting and we saw a lot of wildlife and bird species. The staff was exceptional.
Safari tent rooms were huge and fancy. Nice placement of tents and nice family style dinners.
Animals were close to us throughout the day and nights." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia; 8n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Gomoti Plains Camp review"
We were greeted by the manager, Onyx. He was great! If we had a request he would handle it immediately.
We had to have a nurse fly in to give us a Covid test and he made sure that they emailed him the results so that he could print them and give them to us to ensure that we would have the results.
The only negative was our guide. He had some trouble finding the animals. We had three instances which were very disappointing, one of which was a lion kill that he said was only vultures over some old bones and did not try to go see for sure. The other guide found the kill." See all these reviews: 7n in Zimbabwe; 3n in Botswana

The facilities were pitched perfectly for a visit to the Okavango, anything else would have been 'over the top'. The game viewing was excellent (and we visited out of season).
No hesitation in commending this for anyone that wants an excellent safari experience." See all these reviews: 8n in Botswana

The accommodation was good, but in the heat we missed a ceiling fan as opposed to a standing fan. The place was very quiet. The game was excellent and we were very lucky to see cheetah at close range. Also porcupine and honey badger birth by day and by night.
Excellent lion viewings close to the camp, with seven young cubs" See all these reviews: 8n in Zimbabwe; 7n in Botswana; 7n in South Africa

Unfortunately, a wildfire which swept through the area earlier in the season has destroyed many of the trees (although regeneration is evident) and the lagoon in front of Camp had long since dried up as a result of the unprecedented dry conditions. This possibly affected the amount of wildlife activity directly around the Camp itself although quiet observation with binoculars revealed a fair bit of game passing through, including a family of kudu coming to the swimming pool to drink! The Gomoti river, although low was still flowing and inevitably, there was much more of interest around the water, both plains game and birds. It was still possible to experience the river by mokoro and we would highly recommend this activity to experience the different perspective offered.
The daily formula consisted of morning and afternoon game drives. The latter merged with a night drive for the last hour or so on the way back to camp after dark. Guides in different vehicles were in constant communication with one another to alert colleagues to interesting sightings. One one occasion, this enabled us to locate a pair of cheetahs and later on, we watched them hunting impala (unsuccessfully)." See all these reviews: 16n in Botswana; 10n in Zimbabwe

"Excellent stay at Gomoti Plains camp"
The bush dinner was a lovely surprise. The back of house tour with Natasha was very interesting.
We had many sightings of cheetah, leopard and lion, and also 2 honey badgers early in the morning running across the path on our way to breakfast, and 2 porcupine" See all these reviews: 9n in Botswana
