Mombo Camp is located just off the northwestern tip of Chiefs Island, in 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.
Mombo Camp provides one of the highest quality wildlife viewing opportunities in Africa. Giant Umbrella Thorns and Ilala palms dot the expansive plains to create a superb savanna landscape alongside the marshes and floodplains of the Delta.
Solitude for guests is ensured, as you have exclusive use of this area for Mombo and the trail camps. Apart from the sporadic government official or wildlife filmmaker, the staff and other guests are the only other people you will see during your stay.
Nine large safari tented rooms accommodate a maximum of 18 guests. Mombo's independent smaller camp, Little Mombo Camp, has an additional 3 tented rooms. 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.
A large pack of Wild Dogs frequent the area around Mombo Camp and have been successful in raising large litters in recent years. The excellent game at Mombo Camp has made this area Botswana's top wildlife documentary location. National Geographic, BBC and many others have been filming here.
Bird life is prolific with waterfowl and waders being particularly common. Dickinson's Kestrel, Pinkthroated Longclaw, Black Coucal, (summer months), Wattled Crane and Meyer's Parrot are among the species found on the floodplains and in the woodlands.
