Located on Chief’s Island in Botswana’s Okavango Delta, Wilderness Mombo is widely regarded as one of Africa’s premier safari camps. Set within the renowned Moremi Game Reserve, the camp offers exceptional year-round wildlife viewing, particularly for predators and large concentrations of plains game.
Known as the 'Place of Plenty', Mombo combines a legendary safari location with luxury accommodation, outstanding guiding, and a strong commitment to conservation.
Positioned in a private wilderness area on the northern tip of Chief’s Island, Wilderness Mombo benefits from nutrient-rich floodplains that support some of the highest wildlife densities in the Okavango Delta. Large herds of buffalo, elephant, zebra, and antelope attract an impressive variety of predators, creating exceptional game viewing throughout the year.
Rebuilt in 2018, the camp blends contemporary comfort with sustainable design, operating entirely on solar power while maintaining a light environmental footprint. Alongside game drives, guests can enjoy a wildlife hide, spa, gym, swimming pool, helicopter excursions, and memorable dining experiences overlooking the floodplains.
