Location

The camps are located on the northern tip of Chief’s Island in Botswana’s Okavango Delta, within the wildlife-rich Moremi Game Reserve. This prime position places you at the meeting point of permanent waterways and open floodplains, creating an environment that supports extraordinary biodiversity throughout the year. The surrounding landscape shifts subtly with the seasons yet consistently attracts high concentrations of plains game and predators. Accessible only by light aircraft, the camps’ remote setting ensures a true sense of exclusivity and immersion, with uninterrupted views across the Delta and a feeling of being deeply connected to one of Africa’s most pristine wilderness areas.

Design

The design of Mombo Camp blends contemporary comfort with a respectful nod to classic safari style, creating spaces that feel both elegant and in keeping with their surroundings. Elevated structures maximize views while minimizing environmental impact, and natural materials are used throughout to reflect the tones and textures of the Delta. Interiors are spacious and refined, balancing soft furnishings, handcrafted details and open layouts that invite the outdoors in. Expansive decks encourage quiet moments of observation, while communal areas are thoughtfully arranged for both privacy and connection, offering a calm, understated luxury that never distracts from the wilderness beyond.

Activities

Game drives are the focus at Mombo Camp, with expertly guided outings offering exceptional encounters with predators, particularly leopards, while large herds and seasonal wildlife move steadily across the plains. The varied terrain allows for consistently rewarding drives throughout the year, with sightings often continuing back at camp. Between activities, relax with in-room treatments, enjoy time on your private deck or unwind in shared spaces overlooking the Delta. Dining is an integral part of the experience, with menus showcasing fresh, thoughtfully prepared cuisine served in elegant indoor settings, open-air dining areas or under the stars, often tailored to the rhythm of the day’s adventures.

Sustainability

Sustainability is embedded into every aspect of Mombo Camp’s operation, ensuring luxury and conservation exist in careful balance. The camp is designed for low-impact living, utilizing solar power, water recycling systems and responsible waste management to protect the fragile Okavango ecosystem. A strong commitment to wildlife conservation underpins daily operations, with ongoing support for habitat preservation and research initiatives in the region. Local employment and training are prioritized, creating meaningful economic benefits for nearby communities. This holistic approach ensures the enjoyment of an exceptional safari experience while actively contributing to the long-term protection of Botswana’s natural heritage.

Why we love it

We love Mombo Camp for its rare ability to deliver consistently extraordinary wildlife encounters while maintaining an atmosphere of understated luxury. The option of Little Mombo adds a discreet alternative for those who value privacy and intimacy, without compromising on game viewing or guiding. The seamless blend of location, guiding, sustainability and design makes the camps one of the most rewarding safari experiences in Botswana for travelers seeking depth, authenticity and excellence in every detail.
