MOMBO
CAMP DESCRIPTION |
ACCOMMODATION
Mombo Camp is situated on Mombo Island, adjoining the
northern tip of Chief's Island, and is within the Moremi
Game Reserve in the Okavango Delta in northern Botswana.
The island is surrounded by open floodplains and the
camp itself is largely built in and around the shade
of some large matgosteen, ebony and fig trees - overlooking
a wonderful floodplain teeming with game.
Mombo Camp has nine luxuriously furnished tents, raised
off the ground. The guests' rooms and connecting walkways
that connect are up to two metres off the ground, allowing
game to wander freely through the camp - but at the
same time allowing for guest safety. One often finds
that animals take refuge under the rooms. The canvas
rooms are spacious and well appointed and have en-suite
facilities with an additional outdoor shower for those
who enjoy a shower under the stars.
The dining room, pub and living
area overlook the open plain in front of the camp and
there is a plunge pool for relaxing in the heat of the
day. Activities at Mombo include morning and afternoon
game drives in open 4x4 vehicles.
The camp offers abundant big game viewing, arguably
the best in Botswana. The highlight is the concentration
of plains game and all the predators - including the
big cats. Lion sightings are particularly good. Guests
could also see Leopard, large herds of Buffalo, Cheetah,
Wild Dog, Elephant, White and Black Rhino, Hyena, Giraffe,
Wildebeest and Zebra.
The dining / bar areas are
on raised wooden decks that wind around African ebony
and sycamore fig trees. The lounge and dining tent has
beautiful big sofas, with a breathtaking view over the
lagoon and also features a well-stocked library and
a study.
