Hidden from the world within Botswana's Okavango Delta and situated just off the north-western tip of Chiefs Island, is the secret paradise of Mombo. Mombo Camp and Little Mombo are two neighbouring but separate luxury camps, situated on a scenic island, deep within the Moremi Game Reserve. As an exclusive year-round wildlife destination (especially for predators), Mombo has a record unequalled in Africa. Large concentrations of wildlife occur right in front of the camp - it is not impossible to see up to twelve different mammal species from the comfort of your veranda! Giant umbrella thorns and Ilala palms dot the expansive plains to create a magnificent savannah landscape alongside the marshes and floodplains of the Delta. WILDLIFE
Elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard, cheetah and all the major predators are common in the region. A large pack of wild dogs frequents the area around the camp and has been successful in raising many litters in recent years. The excellent game at Mombo has made this area Botswana's top wildlife documentary location. Birdlife is prolific, with waterfowl and waders being particularly common. FACILITIES
The main living area is under thatch and canvas, and is linked by raised walkways to the bedrooms. There are pools at both camps. Mombo Camp has a "kgotla" or boma for outdoor dining under the stars. Both camps are extremely comfortable with public areas of generous proportions and luxurious decor in an "african" style. The views of game on the surrounding floodplain are stunning. 
| No. of Bedrooms | 12 identical guest rooms divided into two distinct and independent camps. Mombo has 9 rooms and Little Mombo has 3. The rooms, of canvas-and-pole construction, are raised high off the ground and, from wide verandahs running the entire length of the building, offer great views over the floodplains . The specially designed rooms have a tented camp feel, but are very large with lounge, bedroom and bathroom/dressing areas and are luxuriously appointed. The spacious bathrooms are en suite, with double basins and a large shower. There is also an outdoor shower. | | Activities | An extraordinary amount of gameviewing can be done from the verandahs of the rooms or from the large terrace in front of the lounge and dining room. To go further afield, drives in open 4x4 vehicles explore the savannah and floodplains where large concentrations of wildlife and birds abound. Experienced guides will accompany you, ensuring that early morning and late afternoon drives are interesting and educational. Night drives should be available shortly. |
