Mombo Camp
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. The "new" Mombo Camp is situated deep within the
Moremi Game Reserve, on a scenic island about 800 metres from the old Mombo.
Large concentrations of wildlife occur right in front of the new 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.

Accommodations
The design of the new Mombo is radically different
from the old Mombo while still retaining its tented charm. The camp has a total
of 12 identical guest rooms divided into two distinct and independent camps.
Mombo has 9 rooms and Little Mombo has 3 rooms. Each tented room is raised off
the ground offering great views over the floodplains. The new rooms have a
tented camp feel, but are luxuriously appointed. The bathrooms are en suite,
including an indoor shower with hot and cold running water. There is also an
outdoor shower. The main living area is under thatch and canvas. There are
pools at both camps. We will have raised walkways to link bedrooms and the
living area. Mombo Camp & Little Mombo have a "kgotla" or boma for outdoor
dining under the stars.

Activities
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 excursions are interesting and educational. When the new Moremi
regulations come into place, night drives will be allowed.

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. National Geographic, the BBC and many others
have filmed here. Birdlife is prolific, with waterfowl and waders being
particularly common.
