Accommodation
Gomoti Tented Camp — Santawani Concession
Nestled under large Acacia trees in an area rich with diverse wildlife sits Gomoti Tented Camp, located in the center of the private 6,000-hectare Santawani Concession, in the south-east corner of the Okavango. This is glamping at its finest: five spacious, Savannah canvas tents are furnished with teak director's chairs, plush beds and inviting interiors designed to recreate the style of the early explorers. Private, en-suite bathrooms complete these luxury camping accommodations. Enjoy the view from your veranda during the day, or sit beside a crackling campfire in the evening. Fresh, sumptuous meals are served in the thatched dining area.
Linyanti Discoverer Camp — Linyanti Concession
Set in the 125,000-hectare Linyanti Concession, bordering Chobe National Park, Linyanti Discoverer Camp is your base from which to explore this enormous wildlife-rich area. Unrivalled in its remoteness and space, the concession is bisected by an ancient watercourse—the now-flowing Savute Channel. Your innovative wooden-framed and canvas-sided tents are designed to recreate the accommodation style of the early explorers, with richly coloured teak director chairs and minimalist interiors. Bedside tables with reading lamps, canvas and wood wardrobes, bathrobes, comfortable beds and mirrors are provided. Private, en-suite separate toilet and showers form part of the structure. Paraffin hurricane lanterns and a crackling campfire set the ambience in the evening, while fresh, sumptuous meals are usually prepared around a fire by warm and friendly camp staff.
Pelo Camp — Jao Concession
Pelo Camp is a tented, mobile camp in the heart of the Jao Concession in the Okavango Delta. Given its situation on a small island surrounded by permanent water, the area is perfect for mokoro activities in the open, shallow floodplains. The main area comprises a tented dining area and lounge situated under impressive wild date palms, jackalberry and Natal mahogany trees. Five spacious guest tents have en-suite bathrooms and a covered front veranda. A zipper door separates the sleeping area from the bathroom which has a flush toilet and bucket shower, as well as running water in the basin.
