Mombo

Mombo lies in the north-eastern corner of Chief’s Island in Moremi Game Reserve, an iconic section of Botswana’s Okavango Delta. Here the Simbira Channel at the Delta’s southern end acts as a barrier, constraining wildlife to the area around Mombo. In summer the fertile plains teem with antelopes and their newborns, attracting vast numbers of predators. 

To Wilderness and many who travel here, Mombo is known as the Place of Plenty due to the prolific wildlife found here. For those living in the area, Mombo’s local name is Mokobadinama which directly translates to “the acacias hanging with meat”, symbolic of the abundance of Mombo.

A stay at Mombo includes all your meals, scheduled daily game drives or selected other safari activities, park fees, laundry and all local drinks excluding premium imported brands and champagne. 

On arrival at Maun Airport in Botswana and after clearing Customs & Immigration, you will be met and assisted by a Wilderness representative to your light aircraft for your onward circuit air transfer to Wilderness Mombo. A helicopter transfer can also be arranged if you would like to start your safari in true style.  

Game viewing at Mombo in the Okavango Delta is unparalleled. Look out for star wildlife attractions, including healthy populations of predators, sizeable elephant and buffalo herds and an abundance of antelopes.  

Yes, Wilderness Mombo does have a family suite for bringing the pack along. Just be advised that children under 13 will not be allowed on game drives unless a private safari vehicle is booked for your group.  

Wilderness Mombo is a beacon of impactful tourism with an aim to leave just the lightest footprint in paradise. Like all Wilderness camps, Mombo is guided by robust internal and external Environmental Impact Assessments, in which all aspects of camp operations are scrutinised to ensure we minimise our impact on the environment. From the materials we use, to transportation logistics and the management of waste, water, and energy, every detail is continually assessed and improved upon whenever possible.

Mombo is home to eight double tented suites, plus an additional family unit that can accommodate four, with two adjoining safari tents, each with its own en-suite bathroom.

Mombo and its sister camp, Little Mombo, are owned by Wilderness - a world-leading conservation and hospitality company, and the proud custodians of many of our planet's most significant wild places.
