Mombo Camp, on Mombo Island just off the northern tip of Chief’s Island, is built under large shady trees and overlooks a wonderful floodplain teeming with wildlife.

Large concentrations of plains game often occur in front of camp and guests may view a variety of animals without even leaving the veranda. Informative game drives explore the savannah and floodplain mosaics of Chief’s Island with prolific wildlife-viewing opportunities.

Mombo is ‘a place of plenty’, the ‘game mecca’ of Southern Africa. Here you will see a vast array of animals, including all the ‘big five’ if you’re lucky, in a totally uncontrived environment. There are few places in Africa that can boast such an abundance of game in a wild setting.

Your stay here will undoubtedly be the “crowning glory” of your safari experience.

During your time here you might consider partaking in a helicopter flight. This experience provides a wonderful overview of the intricacies of the Okavango.

Wilderness has been privileged to witness three generations of Wilderness Mombo, undoubtedly one of Africa’s foremost wildlife and ecotourism destinations.

A spacious family suite with a private pool invites guests to bring the family and create lasting memories. A double bed and a set of twin beds accommodate a family of four easily, with plenty of extra room for privacy and peace.

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.
