Mombo occupies a private concession on the northern tip of Chief’s Island, the largest landmass in the Okavango Delta — game-rich floodplains where lion, leopard and wild dog hunt in densities few places on earth can match. Filmmakers and researchers have based here for decades; the sightings built the reputation.
The camp itself — raised suites under old jackalberry trees, verandas over a plain that never empties — is Wilderness’s flagship, and Botswana’s benchmark. If one camp defines the luxury Delta safari, it is this one.
The camp we name when someone asks, “if money were no object, where in Botswana?” The game density on Chief’s Island justifies every superlative.
— Evance & JenniferYou never pay more than booking direct — usually less. And everything around the lodge is handled.
As a trade partner we access preferred rates and seasonal offers the lodge doesn’t always publish — you’ll never pay more than booking direct. And a lodge can only sell you its own beds; we build the journey around it: international flights, the right nights, and where you go next.
A private car waiting at the airport, light-aircraft hops timed to your route, and a guide who already knows your name. Book direct and the gaps between camps become your problem; book with us and there are none.
We know how Mombo’s dryland game differs from the Delta’s water camps, how far ahead its handful of suites really book, and which second camp completes the water-and-land pairing Botswana does best.
A missed flight, a weather delay, a change of heart mid-trip — you contact one person, and we re-arrange everything behind the scenes. The lodge looks after you on property; we look after the whole journey.
