Wildlife Viewing & Activities

Named after the river it borders, Gomoti Plains camp lies alongside one of the smaller of the water system’s flood plains. Enjoy twice daily wildlife drives seeking Africa's elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, giraffe, zebra and other fascinating and magnificent animals. Seek out nocturnal wildlife on a night drive. In this private concession you can also enjoy guided bush walks, mokoro activities and birding. Gomoti is a wildlife-rich area with excellent sightings including lion prides, wild dog dens, large herds of buffalo and a variety of plains game.

The Okavango Delta is a year-round wildlife viewing destination, with the peak mammal viewing in the dry winter between June and October and fantastic birding all year. The below chart shows major wildlife sightings. Other typical sightings may include small mammals, such as jackals, foxes, caracal and serval, and a wide variety of birds and reptiles. Exact sightings will depend on weather and wildlife movements and can vary from camp to camp, since many camps are located on islands.
