The Legendary Predator Capital of Africa
Set on the northern tip of Chief’s Island within the world-famous Moremi Game Reserve, Mombo is celebrated across the safari world as the iconic "Place of Plenty." The camp overlooks a massive floodplain that sustains an extraordinary density of herbivores—from huge herds of Cape buffalo and red lechwe to giraffes and plains zebra—drawing Africa’s highest concentrations of apex predators including lions, leopards, cheetahs, and endangered wild dogs.
Elevated two meters above the ground on raised timber boardwalks, Mombo allows large game and predator species to pass freely beneath the guest areas without interruption. The camp was rebuilt in 2018 with cutting-edge sustainable engineering, operating on a 100% solar microgrid that leaves zero carbon footprint in the pristine heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Okavango Delta.
