Mombo Camp, Okavango Delta :
Okavango Delta
- sleeps up to 18
- 9 bedrooms
OVERVIEW
Mombo Camp, on the northern tip of Chief's Island within the Moremi Game Reserve in the Okavango Delta, is built under large shady trees and overlooks an open floodplain more often than not alive with wildlife. This area boasts enormous concentrations of plains game and large predators - lions in particular - providing what is arguably the best big game viewing in Botswana. Accommodation comprises nine spacious tents raised up to two metres off the ground, with breathtaking views over the plains; the sala, long veranda and lounge area all take advantage of such vistas. Bathrooms are en-suite, with indoor and outdoor showers. The main living and dining area is under thatch, there is a boma for delicious dinners under the stars and a plunge pool to relax in on a hot day.

RESPONSIBLE TOURISM
Mombo and Little Mombo camps are integrally involved in the Botswana Rhino Reintroduction Project. In 2001, Wilderness Safaris together with Botswana's Department of Wildlife initiated a programme that has resulted in white rhino running free and wild in the Okavango Delta. The first group of four white rhino arrived at Mombo in November 2001, Wilderness also financing the construction of bomas, much of the transport and much of the monitoring costs. A further 22 rhino arrived as a result of an innovative 'rhino-for-roan' swap between South Africa and Botswana.
The ultimate accolade, though, has come from the rhino themselves. In August 2004, the first white rhino calf was born in the wild in Mombo, 16 months after its mother was released in 2001. Since then, the steady birth rate more than indicates the success of the programme.

TO ESCAPE TO VERDICT
Mombo & Little Mombo is located on the remote Chief’s Island, the area itself is marked a ‘low intensity’ area therefore allowing a remote and exclusive safari experience. The Okavango Delta is one of my most memorable safari experiences. The smell of the wild sage after a rainfall, the unspoiled landscape, the sound of Red Lechwe running across the water during the morning mokoro trip, these are all memories which will stay with me for the rest of my days.
