EnquireGomoti Plains Camp is situated on the edge of the Gomoti river system.
Accommodation consists of ten spacious safari tents, two of which are family units. The tents are on decking with a private verandah looking toward the seasonally flowing Gomoti River. Bathrooms are en-suite, complete with inside and outside showers, double vanity basin and flush toilets. Limited electricity is available in the tents, allowing for lighting and camera charging.
An open sided tent houses the lounge and dining area - classic and comfortable - welcoming all guests. Dinner can be enjoyed under the stars or more intimately under canvas. Inviting white sand leads from the main tent to the campfire and to the meandering river beyond.
With free movement between Moremi Game Reserve and the private concession, this area is known for its large concentrations of wildlife, which thrive on the Gomoti plains and waterways. Activities include day and night game drives, walking safaris with an armed guide and mokoro excursions.
Night drives are conducted in the early evening offering one a chance to see the smaller more nocturnal animals using a spotlight. Walking safaris are generally conducted in the morning with armed guides. Walking is weather dependent, or dependent on the condition of the terrain.
Mokoro excursions take place in the mornings or longer day trips can be arranged, and are water level dependant.
Gomoti Plains welcomes families, with a family tent and kids welcome on game drives (depending on age, an upgrade to a private vehicle may be required). Min age for Mokoro is 12 years and bush walks 16 years old. The Family Tent Sleeps 4 with One double bed and Two singles beds and En-suite Bathroom. It is important to note this is a wild area and the camp is unfenced from wild animals. So it is imperative that children are well behaved and kept under supervision at all times.
Trip was great and all the arrangements were excellent so thank you for all the help!
Drivers and transfers were all good - on time and very good service on each trip.
Accommodation was lovely - Douar Samra was amazing (weather could have been better but lovely regardless). Riad in Marrakesh was also great!
All in all a great trip and we loved the variety of the mountains, Marrakesh and the coast.
Thanks you once again!

I was also just about to email you to thank you and the team for arranging yet again, another wonderful experience.
Mount Kenya was spectacular and wild - I think I prefer it to Kili in many ways. The entire support team was professional, friendly and all round fantastic in making sure that we were safe, well fed and well looked after. In particular, we would commend Peter the guide as well as Paul one of the porters who doubled-up as his deputy on summit day. Our route was often shrouded in mist and rain that rapidly gathered in the valleys and moorlands, and we were very impressed at how Peter managed to navigate us safely through all of that notwithstanding. In addition, we loved learning about the history of Mount Kenya from him in the evenings. And ofcourse, I was blown away by the lovely birthday surprise at the end complete with balloons and a delicious cake that had journeyed with us from day 1. One thing we might recommend because of the sudden change in weather (it would sometimes get extremely cold and wet) is for the equipment list to be a little bit more detailed in terms of its recommendations e.g. layers to be moisture-wicking, walking boots be waterproof, doubling up on socks to avoid blisters etc.
El Karama is a beautiful conservancy and the lodge a true labour of love. Great hospitality in a relaxed environment. Delicious, fresh food. We enjoyed the drives, even if we didn't see much wildlife as the heavens opened on us for the last two outings. However, since it was very much geared towards families, I am not sure if I would stay again without kids. That said, I think it was perfect for a 3d/2n stay post mountain, and a much better choice than flying to the masai mara given the limited time we had.
Our transits were smooth. Samuel the driver was always on time, drove safely and kept the vehicle clean.
So it was a brilliant experience and one which I certainly will cherish for some time to come. It was great to work with you for a third time, and I certainly hope it won't be the last

Thank you, we had an absolute wonderful time, and everything was well-planned and as described. Carla was crying on the day of our departure from Ants Nest, she didn’t want to go home and for it all to end, and when I asked how much longer she would want to stay, she responded “four weeks”
