WILDERNESS Mombo is a luxury lodge located on the edge of Chiefs Island in the north-western corner of the Moremi Game Reserve in the Okavango Delta.

Wilderness Mombo very clearly offers two things. Firstly exceptional standards of safari accommodation, food and service. Secondly, excellent big game viewing. If you are looking for these things, then the only drawback is the extremely high price of Mombo.
