Location
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.

Attractions
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. 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. 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.
Facilities
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 will 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
has a "kgotla" or boma for outdoor dining
under the stars.
Additional Information
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.
