Lounge, dining area, library, boma, bar, lap pool, spa, gym, and safari boutique
Seven opulent tented suites and one family unit, each with a wrap-around veranda and plunge pool
Game drives, bush brunches, birding, hide viewing, and helicopter rides
Wildlife concentrations at Wilderness Mombo are truly sensational, with some of the most exciting game viewing on the continent. As the camp is located within a designated game reserve, activities are limited to daylight hours.
Due to its location in one of the most wildlife-rich regions in Africa, Wilderness Mombo delivers exceptionally good morning and afternoon game drives with some incredible predator encounters. All the big cats are in residence – lion, leopard, and cheetah –, as are hyena, jackal, and wild dog. Please note that night drives are not possible at Wilderness Mombo because the camp is located within Moremi Game Reserve.
Enjoy a freshly prepared brunch outside in the bush after an action-packed game drive, and maximize your time spent in Moremi Game Reserve’s stunning natural environment.
Bird enthusiasts will be thrilled with the opportunities to spot endless varieties, including martial eagle, wattled crane, lesser jacana, and the intriguing Pel’s fishing owl. Guests also have access to a hide just 20 minutes from camp, a must-visit for keen photographers!
Mombo’s state-of-the-art wellness centre deserves its own special mention. A stunning space completely dedicated to well-being, this is a place to slow down, embrace nature, and rejuvenate! Besides the gym and lap pool overlooking the floodplains, there are meditation cocoons, a sauna, an ice bath, and treatment rooms where guests can enjoy a range of replenishing massages.
A range of scenic helicopter flights showcases scenic and cultural highlights, including Tsodilo Hills (UNESCO World Heritage Site), where you’ll learn about San history and see some of their remarkable ancient rock art.
*This property is unfenced and located in a wildlife area, so large and potentially dangerous animals do pass through. If you opt to stay here, always be alert when walking around the camp and request for a member of staff to escort you if you have any concerns. Any guest is escorted after dark as a matter of course.
Wilderness Mombo is located on Chief’s Island within the Moremi Game Reserve, considered the beating heart of the Delta due to its astonishingly high concentrations of wildlife. Access is by light aircraft from Maun, and it’s approximately 15 minutes by car from the airstrip to camp. The journey into Moremi is wonderfully scenic, offering ample opportunities for wildlife viewing.
The communal area at Wilderness Mombo features large open-sided living and dining spaces with panoramic views of the floodplain, as well as a library, a well-stocked bar, a pizza oven, and a sweeping deck where guests are invited to dine in the open air and take in the wildlife-rich setting.
