subject: Mombo Camp, What to Expect by:Anita Lyon [print this page] Situated in the Mombo Concession, which is one the northern tip of Chief's Island, the Mombo Camp is one of the most extraordinary safari experiences on offer in the industry today. The camp itself falls within the area of the Moremi Game Reserve, which is based in the Okavango Delta of Botswana. What's important about this fact is that it means a truly expansive range of both graceful game and their determined predators roam.
The camp is comprised of nine large and highly spacious tents which are elevated two meters from the ground, ensuring that although you're close to the land, you aren't too close for comfort. Each tent is cleverly located within the protective and refreshing shade of the large trees which overlook the magnificent floodplains. Bathroom facilities are all en suite and showers are available. The spectacular views from this location are simply breathtaking and guests can take in these inspirational sights from the comfort of the long veranda or even the lounge areas.
The overall layout of the camp was expertly planned to take advantage of every secluded spot with a good lookout point. The central living areas of the camp are all thatched but dinner is inside the boma which allows guests a panoramic view of the night sky. This may be a shocking first for some who has yet to see the night sky in perfect clarity without pollution or artificial lights, and a night time dip in the plunge pool is just the way to top off the perfect evening of relaxation.
Due to the very nature of the Okavango area, guests are often treated to the sights of graceful animals wondering past the camp, often right past their very windows. To properly take full advantage of the splendors of this area, it takes the experience of professional game rangers and Mombo has some of the most qualified professionals in the industry today. Not simply satisfied to point the wildlife out, their rangers will share intimate experiences with the various local fauna, detailing popular local beliefs and tales from bygone eras.
The game drives take place in a comfortable and powerful 4x4 which will ensure that guests are able to travel everywhere and anywhere there is a sight worth investigating. Plenty of photo opportunities await as well, and considering how friendly some of the southern giraffes and blue wildebeest can be, it's likely that you'll get that perfect shot in. Enjoy days filled with wonder and adventure and nights filled with blissful relaxation under the clear Okovango stars, all with Mombo Camp.
