Little Mombo stands as one of Africa's most exclusive and sought-after safari camps, featuring just three or four ultra-luxurious tented suites perched on the northwestern tip of Chief's Island within Moremi Game Reserve in the heart of the Okavango Delta. As the intimate sister property to the legendary Mombo Camp, Little Mombo is connected to its larger sibling by a raised wooden walkway, allowing guests to share certain facilities while maintaining complete independence with its own private dining room, lounge, kitchen, boma, plunge pool, and fitness center. The location is nothing short of extraordinary—locally known as "the Place of Plenty," this area boasts some of the highest concentrations and diversity of wildlife in Southern Africa, with the camp overlooking sweeping floodplains dotted with tree islands where wildlife viewing is so spectacular that you often don't need to leave camp to witness dramatic encounters.
The wildlife viewing credentials here are truly world-class, with consistently exceptional sightings of lions and leopards that have made the area famous among photographers and safari enthusiasts. This is one of the few places in Botswana where you might glimpse both black and white rhino, thanks to the successful Botswana Rhino Reintroduction Project that the camp actively supports. Massive herds of buffalo and elephant move through regularly, while wild dogs, cheetahs during the birthing season, and an incredible diversity of plains game create constant drama on the surrounding floodplains. The birding is equally impressive year-round, with hundreds of species including rare wattled cranes.
Activities focus exclusively on morning and afternoon game drives in open vehicles seating a maximum of seven guests, plus guided walking safaris that provide intimate insights into the Delta's ecology. Because the camp lies within Moremi Game Reserve rather than a private concession, night drives aren't permitted, but the quality of daylight viewing more than compensates. A hide located twenty minutes from camp offers fantastic photographic opportunities, while optional helicopter flights provide breathtaking aerial perspectives of the Delta. The camp epitomizes sustainable luxury, operating entirely on solar power with minimal environmental footprint.
