Mombo Safari Camp
Mombo is hidden from the world within
Botswana's Okavango Delta and situated just off the north-western
tip of Chiefs Island, a scenic island, deep within the Moremi Game
Reserve.
Right in front of the camp large concentrations
of wildlife occur, a spectacle for everyone. 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.
As a year-round exclusive wildlife destination (especially for predators),
Mombo has a record unequalled in Africa. This area provides one
of the highest quality wildlife viewing opportunities on earth.
Many of the Cheetah photos reproduced in National Geographic's December
1999 issue and the photos of wild dog in the May 1999 issue were
taken here. Mombo was rated as one of the top destinations of the
'Ultimate Safari' in the March 1999 issue of Conde Nast Traveler.
Mombo also ranks as one of the best lodges in Southern Africa according
to the July 2000 issue of Harpers and Queen.
The camp has 9 large tented rooms,
accommodating 18 guests. Each unit has private en-suite toilet and
shower facilities as well as solar-powered lights. A separate dining
area, lounge and pub raised onto teak decking and under thatch,
overlook the floodplains. Elephant, Buffalo, Lion, Leopard, Cheetah
and all the major predators are common in the region.
