Okavango Delta Botswana
Mombo Camp
From our Signature safaris selection, Mombo Camp remains steadfast among the finest game experiences in Botswana's Okavango Delta. Mombo Island features only two camps: Mombo Camp & Little Mombo Camp, both identical in style with luxurious tents raised on a platform to offer sweeping views over the game-filled floodplains. The sheer abundance and diversity of large mammals in this region is remarkable year-round; from elephants and both species of rhinoceros to lions, leopards, and cheetahs.
Mombo camp features nine elegantly furnished tents, all elevated off the ground. Guest rooms and the walkways connecting them are raised up to two meters, allowing wildlife to roam freely through the camp while ensuring guest safety. It’s not uncommon to find animals seeking shelter beneath the rooms. The spacious canvas tents are thoughtfully designed and include en-suite bathrooms, with an additional outdoor shower for those who wish to enjoy a shower under the stars. The dining and lounge areas offer views of the open plain in front of the camp, and there is a plunge pool for cooling off during the heat of the day.
Guests enjoy morning and afternoon game drives in open 4x4 vehicles as part of the Mombo experience.
Mombo Safari Diaries
'Over the years I listened avidly as the Yei peddlers recounted the stories of the area. In their eyes, it had an almost mythical quality: huge herds of buffalo, zebra, wildebeest and all the predators' - excerpt from Mombo, Okavango’s Place of Plenty. The Moremi Game Reserve was one of the first to be established at the request of local tribes, aiming to preserve this incredible natural heritage. Their efforts have certainly been successful. The seasonal flooding and drying of the floodplains to the west of Mombo provide ideal conditions for wildlife to fully utilize both habitats. Each year, between March and May, the annual floodwaters arrive, allowing large mammals to migrate into the Chiefs Island area, which offers an abundance of grass and acacia forests. The wetlands are bordered by towering hardwood trees that provide shade, shelter, nesting sites, and food for a diverse range of mammals and bird species.
Field Notes
Place of Plenty
By September and October, the wetlands begin to recede, revealing vast floodplains covered in short, green grass, while the larger islands reach their driest point. This seasonal abundance of high-quality food creates the dynamic and diverse wildlife activity that makes the Mombo area so exciting and unique.
