Referred to as the ‘place of plenty,’ this luxurious, famous tented camp is situated on Chief’s Island, within the Moremi reserve, in northern Botswana’s Okavango Delta. Mombo, big sister to Little Mombo, is renowned for its extremely dense concentrations of plains game and predators - regarded as some of the best big game viewing in all of Africa. Its accolades don’t stop there - it is also eco-friendly, solar-powered and involved in a number of conservation projects, including the reintroduction of the black and white rhino. This camp boasts rave reviews and is admired by guests and guides alike.
Elevated and built below shady trees, the camp consists of nine palatial en-suite tents. The word tent however does not do the level of style and comfort justice. Each humble abode boasts a king-sized bed with a mosquito net, multiple ceiling fans, a writing desk, a large soft sofa, indoor and outdoor showers, as well as a private deck with a daybed. Mombo offers the perfect balance between luxury and authenticity, the environment remaining centre stage.
The undisputed "Place of Plenty" — widely regarded as Africa's finest safari camp, where predator sightings are so frequent they border on the absurd. This is the benchmark against which every other camp is measured.
Book well in advance — Mombo's reputation means it fills up fast, particularly in peak season.
Excellence comes at a price — this is one of the most expensive camps on the continent, though most guests agree it's worth every penny for that once-in-a-lifetime safari experience.
Mombo Camp is owned by Wilderness safaris which aims to double its conservation impact by 2030, protecting 6 million acres of land. Their framework focuses on Educate, Empower, and Protect pillars, building a conservation economy, nurturing future leaders, and preserving unfenced wilderness. Through immersive hospitality experiences and partnerships with nonprofits like Children in the Wilderness and the Wilderness Trust, they engage guests in conservation efforts and address diverse threats to wilderness, wildlife, and communities.
