Open 4x4 Land Rovers allow guests to get
close to animals in the savannah areas.
Guests usually have the opportunity to see
Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Sable and
Buffalo, along with all the plains
animals, providing an excellent all-round
wildlife experience in this remote corner
of the Okavango. Walks (on request basis
only) around the islands as well as night
drives give guests the opportunity to
enjoy Africa from a different perspective.
The 6 tented rooms are large and
comfortably appointed and each have an
en-suite bathroom with hot and cold
running water, a shower and flush toilet.
The camp has a plunge pool. Access into
this area is only by aircraft and then
guests are transferred by means of vehicle
and then mokoro or boat to the camp from
the airstrip.

Mombo Camp is situated on Mombo
Island, adjoining the northern tip of
Chief’s Island, and is within the Moremi
Game Reserve in northern Botswana. The
camp offers abundant wonderful wildlife
viewing, arguably, year round the best
wildlife viewing in Botswana. The
highlight here is the concentrations of
plains animals and all the predators –
including the big cats! Lion sightings are
particularly good. Mombo is built under
the shade of some large shady trees and
overlooks a wonderful floodplain that
teems with wildlife. The camp has 9
comfortably furnished, luxurious tents,
raised off the ground. The guest’s rooms
and the walkways that connect the rooms to
the living area are up to 2m off the
ground, allowing animals to wander freely
through and under the camp – but at the
same time allowing for guest safety. The
canvas rooms are spacious and well
appointed and have en-suite facilities
under canvas and an additional outdoor
shower for those who enjoy a shower under
the stars. The dining room, pub and living
area overlook the open plain in front of
the camp and there is a plunge pool.

afternoon game drives in open 4x4
vehicles. The wildlife viewing in the area
is excellent and guests can see lion,

At a time to be advised by the camp

your scheduled light aircraft transfer to
Kings Pool Camp. Accommodation based on 2
nights.
Kings Pool Camp is
located in a private reserve in the
Linyanti / Savute Channel area in the
northern part of Botswana, on the western
boundary of Chobe National Park. The
source of the Savute Channel is within
this private reserve. The camp overlooks
the oxbow-shaped Kings Pool Lagoon and the
Linyanti River to the north. The area has
a large wildlife resource with a wide
variety of species, but it is most noted
for its very large Elephant populations,
which during our winter months can reach
enormous densities. There are good
populations of Impala, Lechwe, Kudu,
Zebra, Giraffe, Sable, Waterbuck, Buffalo
and the smaller plains antelope. The major
predators such as Lion, Leopard, Cheetah,
Wild Dog and Hyena are regularly sighted.
The reed and papyrus swamps are ideal for
numerous and diverse species of birds and
are a magnet for wildlife in the dry
winter months.
Accommodation is in nine luxurious
tented rooms under cool thatch overlooking
the Hippo filled lagoon in front of the
camp. Each of the bedrooms has its own
large bedroom area, lounge, private plunge
pool and sala. Each en-suite bathroom has
a double shower, double hand basin vanity
area and a separate flush toilet. There is
also an outdoor shower for those who
prefer to be closer to Africa. The main
lounge, pub, curio shop and dining area
are under thatch and there is a swimming
pool built into the deck. The main area is
linked to the bedrooms by a raised
walkway. Activities include game drives in
open 4x4 Land Rovers, night drives and
