Mombo Camp is situated on Mombo Island, adjoining the northern tip of Chief's Island, arguably Botswana’s prime game viewing area located within the Moremi Game Reserve in the Okavango Delta. The island is surrounded by open floodplains and the camp itself is largely built in and around the shade of some large mangosteen, ebony and fig trees - overlooking a wonderful floodplain teeming with game.
The camp has nine luxuriously furnished tents, raised off the ground. The guests' rooms and connecting walkways are up to two metres off the ground thus allowing game to wander freely through the camp while at the same time ensuring guest safety. The stylish tented rooms are spacious and well appointed and have en-suite facilities with an additional outdoor shower for those who enjoy a shower under the stars. The dining room, pub and living area overlook the open plain in front of the camp and there is a plunge pool for relaxing in the heat of the day.
Game viewing activities at Mombo are undertaken in open 4x4 vehicles throughout the day, the restrictions of being in the Moremi Game Reserve and fluctuating water levels mean that only game drives are offered from camp.
The Mombo area is renowned for being the most exceptional game viewing area in the Okavango Delta with a high concentration of plains game and predators, including big cats. Lion sightings are particularly good and guests may also see leopard, large herds of buffalo, cheetah, wild dog, elephant, hyena, giraffe, wildebeest and zebra. Black and white rhino have been reintroduced with outstanding success to the area (albeit most are further away from camp), thanks to the Botswana Rhino Reintroduction Program.
Airstrip Transfer Time: 15 minutes
