Mombo Camp - Our View

Many people regard Mombo as the best safari camp in the world, and we agree. The huge number of all the cats and vast concentrations of virtually everything else mean that game drives are always fulfilling and regularly somewhat explosive. The Mombo concession is an animals paradise with exceptionally fertile land. The result is a predators enclave - lion sightings are often seen in the same game drive as leopard and the resident cheetah, all of whom are well known by the guides. Wild dog are also commonly sighted in the area. To put it bluntly, the game drives at Mombo are unparalleled throughout Botswana. And then there is the camp itself….and the food!!
