Mombo and Little Mombo, Okavango Delta

Arguably one of the finest wildlife destinations in Africa, and undoubtedly the best year-round game-viewing destination in Botswana. Both camps are situated just after the Okavango River splits into its primary channels. The nutrients deposited by the river make this the most fertile area in the Delta, attracting unusually high concentrations of plains game and their predators – dominated by the cats.

Both camps have private traversing rights in the legendary Moremi Game Reserve and year-round abundance of animals. When the delta floods, a natural seasonal containment of the wildlife is confined within this area. In summer the fertile plains teem with antelope and their newborns, attracting vast numbers of predators.

Mombo has 8 luxurious tents while its smaller sister camp has only 4 luxurious tents for those seeking even more solitude. Spacious suites with plunge pool. Open-air lounge areas, elegant en-suite bathrooms with outdoor showers and panoramic windows for uninterrupted wildlife viewing.
