Set on Chief’s Island in Botswana’s Okavango Delta, Wilderness Little Mombo offers an intimate safari experience in one of Africa’s most wildlife-rich regions. Located within the renowned Moremi Game Reserve, the camp is known for exceptional year-round game viewing and high concentrations of predators.
With just four suites, Little Mombo is ideal for exclusive-use groups and families seeking privacy, outstanding wildlife encounters, and access to the legendary “Place of Plenty”.
Surrounded by floodplains, channels, and palm-fringed islands, Wilderness Little Mombo lies in the heart of the Okavango Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its rich ecosystems and extraordinary biodiversity. Positioned within a private wilderness area on Chief’s Island, the camp enjoys some of Botswana’s best predator-prey interactions and big game viewing.
The area supports large populations of lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, hyena, and wild dog, while more than 400 bird species are recorded throughout the Delta. Between safari activities, guests can enjoy spa treatments, a gym, swimming pool, wildlife hides, and relaxed dining overlooking the floodplains.
Connected to sister camp Mombo by raised walkways, Little Mombo combines a smaller, more private atmosphere with access to one of Botswana’s most iconic safari destinations.
