15 Nights Okavango & Ocean Deluxe Safari

Days 4-6: Gomoti Plains Camp, Okavango Delta

Your Delta exploration continues at Gomoti Plains Camp, an elegant sanctuary positioned perfectly on the edge of the Gomoti River system and floodplains. The camp’s ten classic safari tents are elevated on wooden decks, offering spectacular views across the pristine wilderness. Each tent is a haven of sophistication, tastefully furnished with safari-style décor and handcrafted teak furniture that pays homage to Africa’s rich design heritage.

The central area features a beautifully appointed mess tent, full of color and style, where guests gather to share meals and relax between adventures. Here, you’ll continue your Delta exploration with expert-led game drives along the river system, each excursion promising new discoveries in one of Africa’s most wildlife-rich regions. The afternoon light paints the floodplains golden, creating perfect conditions for photography as animals emerge to drink and graze. Peaceful mokoro canoe excursions offer an entirely different perspective of the waterways and their inhabitants, allowing you to silently observe everything from tiny painted reed frogs to towering elephants. The camp’s location in the heart of the Delta ensures that every day brings new wildlife encounters and unforgettable moments in nature.

Using fresh produce from the island’s own garden and locally caught fish, each meal becomes a celebration of the region’s flavors. Enjoy breakfast overlooking the ocean, arrange a private beach picnic for lunch, or dine under the stars on Le Lys beach.

During your week on the island, you’ll have access to an extraordinary range of activities. The diving center offers PADI-accredited courses and recreational dives in waters known for their abundant marine life and resilient coral reefs. Conservation enthusiasts can participate in the Island Conservation Society’s programs, including turtle tracking and monitoring of nesting sea turtles and giant tortoises.

For fishing enthusiasts, Alphonse offers world-class experiences with some of Seychelles’ most experienced guides. The waters around the island boast one of the world’s most prolific Bonefish populations, along with opportunities to catch Giant Trevally, various species of triggerfish, and the challenging Milkfish.

Unique experiences include manta ray snorkeling with the chance to name newly identified specimens, sailfish snorkeling in the deep blue waters, and Blue Safaris where you might encounter pods of spinner dolphins, migrating whales, or feeding frenzies of yellowfin tuna. Bird enthusiasts can observe over 250 different species that inhabit the island’s diverse ecosystems.

Between adventures, find serenity at the Azure Spa, where qualified therapists offer rejuvenating treatments. Whether you choose to explore the reef flats with marine biologists, join conservation activities, or simply unwind on pristine beaches, Alphonse Island provides an extraordinary finale to your journey, where luxury meets wild nature in perfect harmony.
