Ultimate Luxury

Mombo Camp

One of the more luxurious camps in Botswana, Mombo has just nine beautifully appointed tented rooms overlooking a floodplain in the Okavango Delta, surrounded by some of Botswana's best game in a totally pristine area.

Mombo Camp
  • Delve into one of Africa’s most alluring landscapes, the Okavango Delta - Mombo sits in the heart of the Moremi Game Reserve and few can rival the extraordinary wildlife of this verdant wilderness.

  • Delight in the extravagance of Mombo’s suites where you can gaze out over the Okavango floodplains from your vast deck. Luxury abounds from the sumptuous bed to the copper rolltop bath, sheer bliss.

  • Feel the thrill of following lions as they stalk lechwe through the billowing reedbed in the golden evening light; game drives overflow with exceptional sightings while expert guides bring the bush to life.

  • Give into tranquillity and indulge in wellness while your tension melts away under the expert attention of the massage therapists, all from the privacy of your suite.


Mombo Camp is situated on Mombo Island, adjoining the northern tip of Chief’s Island, within the Moremi Game Reserve in the Okavango Delta in northern Botswana. The game in this area is incredible - the sheer numbers and variety of wildlife all year round defy description. Mombo Camp is the Africa only seen in documentaries: from elephant to buffalo to tiny steenbok, vast herds of herbivores are trailed by numerous predators on the hunt!

The camp’s nine luxuriously furnished tents are raised high off the ground and adjoined by wooden walkways. This allows game to wander freely through the camp while at the same time enabling guests to maintain a safe distance. One often finds that animals take refuge under the rooms, making for some interesting night-time noises! 

Each beautifully designed tented suite has its own entrance, sitting room with a bar, separate bedroom and bathroom areas with a dressing area, indoor and outdoor showers, double vanity and a separate toilet. Each private deck boasts a private plunge pool and swing bed that overlooks the Delta.

Mombo Island is surrounded by open floodplains and the camp itself is largely built in and around the shade of some large Mangosteen, Ebony and Fig trees - overlooking a wonderful floodplain teeming with game. A plunge pool on the main deck makes a great place to relax in the heat of the day.

The highlight here is the concentration of plains game and all the predators with lion sightings being particularly good. Guests could also see leopard, large herds of buffalo, cheetah, wild dog, elephant, white rhino, hyena, giraffe, wildebeest and zebra.
