Mombo Camp

The Okavango Delta, Botswana

WHAT WE LIKE ABOUT IT:

Under large, shady trees overlooking a floodplain on the northern point of the wildlife-filled Chief’s Island, is Mombo Camp. Nine spacious en-suite tents are elevated above the ground, where guests can sit and admire the spectacular views from long open verandas. The inside of the camp is comfortably luxurious with a sala, and both indoor and outdoor showers. Plunge pools and a gym as well as the opportunity for massage all add to the sumptuous safari experience.

Richly furnished dining areas shaded by large trees as well as the lounge and bar all look out over the wildlife filled plains.

Game drives are extremely satisfying for keen observers, as the area is full of the likes of zebra, warthog, red lechwe, impala, giraffe, kudu, elephant, wildebeest, and buffalo. Predators in these parts include lion, leopard and hyena making for arguable one of the best game viewing destinations in the world.

We think that Mombo is one of the quintessentially classic luxury safari camps in Botswana. Camps such as Mombo are the camps that defined the Okavango Delta experience from the beginning, and it is still every bit as good today.
