Location
The magnificent yet well-concealed Mombo Camp sits at the north-western end of Chief’s Island in Moremi Game Reserve, the largest island of the Okavango Delta. Here, you’ll enjoy phenomenally diverse surroundings ranging from dense emerald forests and lush grasslands to water-lily dotted floodplains and deep lagoons.
Accommodation
Choose from one of nine large tented suites, including one family room, all of which are set atop raised platforms giving them commanding views of the shining floodplains. Inside each palatial suite, you’ll find an extraordinarily comfortable king-sized bed dressed in the finest of linens; a cosy lounge area including a fully-stocked minibar; and an open-plan bathroom complete with his and hers showers and sinks.
Step out onto your private deck to soak up the sunshine; cool off with a dip in the serene plunge pool; or freshen up in the open-air shower immersed in the sounds of nature. With uninterrupted views of the Delta from your entire veranda, wildlife viewing may even begin from the moment you get up in the morning.

A conservation success story
Adding to Mombo Camp’s unrivalled credentials, it was also the site where the reintroduction of the black and white rhino into the wilds of Botswana took place in the early 2000’s. A hugely important project for the future of the species, there are often scheduled talks from experts on rhino conservation at Mombo. Though the rhinos remain elusive, sightings in the area are becoming ever more frequent.
