Wilderness Mombo Camp and Little Mombo

Character and identity

Mombo sits at the edge of a feeding plain deep in the Moremi Game Reserve, in the heart of the Okavango Delta, where wildlife grazes in plain sight from camp. It's really two linked camps: Little Mombo with three tents, Mombo with nine, joined by a boardwalk, twelve units in total. Architect Nick Plewman and designer Caline Williams-Wynn have layered colonial, Art Deco, and modern: Chesterfield sofas, antique brasses, Congolese Pygmy beds repurposed as coffee tables, Twenties chandeliers above the gin bar. Cooking runs to grills, pastas, and tagines from a pizza oven and traditional coals. Service is warm, knowledgeable, lingering by the fire.

Who's it for

Bottom line

The game viewing is the reason to come, and it justifies almost any price: drives here trade volume for sustained, story-worthy encounters with lions, leopards, and cheetah, guided by staff who clearly love the bush. Book confidently if a once-in-a-lifetime safari is the goal; the family unit is the one to request for multi-generational trips, and any of the eleven identical tents otherwise.
