Mombo’s nine spacious en-suite tents are raised two metres from the ground providing excellent views, with a long veranda, a sala and indoor and outdoor showers. The camp's main living, bar and dining areas are under thatch, while the boma adds traditional flavour to delicious dinners under the stars. There are two plunge pools in which to soak and a gym to work off the excellent food.
The main living and dining area is under thatch and there is a boma for traditional dinners, small library and a plunge pool to relax in the heat of the day.

These include all the big cats, of which lion sightings are frequent. You can also expect to see leopard and cheetah, spotted hyaena, large herds of buffalo, elephant, white rhino, giraffe, blue wildebeest, Burchell's zebra and much more. Birdlife is prolific around Mombo with African jacana, pygmy-geese, goliath heron and migrant waders in summer being particularly common.

With the introduction of boating around Chief's Island, guests can explore the waterways that help shape Mombo's extraordinary wildlife story. Departing from Kubu Jetty, the experience takes place aboard a dedicated six-seater boat with a covered canvas canopy, offering a relaxed, on-the-water take on the afternoon safari, with snacks and refreshments included.
This water-level perspective of this iconic landscape, adds another dimension to a safari that has long been regarded as one of Africa's finest.

Whether by vehicle or by water, the game viewing remains exceptional: Chief's Island's private traversing area continues to concentrate some of the highest predator and prey densities in the reserve, while the reconnected channels put guests just as close to the action from mokoro or boat.
Exceptional flood levels, driven by strong local rainfall and the seasonal influx of water from Angola's highlands, have revitalised the channels and floodplains surrounding Chief's Island, creating ideal conditions for mokoro excursions.
Led by experienced guides in traditional-style dugout canoes, these serene excursions offer an intimate exploration of the Okavandgo Delta's newly inundated waterways. Gliding silently through the channels, guests can immerse themselves in the sights and sounds of this extraordinary ecosystem while gaining a deeper appreciation for its seasonal rhythms and rich biodiversity.
Together with boating around Chief's Island, mokoro excursions add a new dimension to the Mombo safari experience, showcasing the Delta's beauty and abundance from a unique water-level perspective.
