Mombo Camp

Chief's Island, Moremi Game Reserve, Okavango Delta, Botswana

A Wilderness flagship on Chief’s Island, long nicknamed the ‘place of plenty’ for its extraordinary density of predators.

Overview

Mombo Camp sits on Chief’s Island at the heart of the Okavango Delta, an area local guides have long called the ‘place of plenty’ for the sheer concentration of game found here. It remains one of Wilderness’s most celebrated properties and a benchmark for Delta safaris generally.

Rooms & Table

The Rooms

Spacious raised suites on wooden decks overlooking the floodplain, each with a private plunge pool and expansive glass frontage looking out over the surrounding grassland.

Food & Service

A design-forward dining programme served with sweeping floodplain views, in keeping with Wilderness’s broader portfolio-wide standards.

Activities

Game drives across Chief’s Island’s floodplain and woodland, seasonal boating when water levels allow, and guided walks led by expert Delta trackers.

Wildlife & Photography

Mombo’s floodplain habitat supports an exceptional density of lion, leopard, and one of the healthiest wild dog populations remaining in southern Africa.

A Photographer's Note

The open floodplain in front of camp offers unusually clear sightlines for predator action, with far less vegetation to obstruct a clean shot than much of the wider Delta.

Conservation & Impact

Wilderness’s decades-long presence at Mombo has directly funded lion and wild dog research across the Okavango ecosystem, among the longest-running carnivore studies in Africa.
