Arguably one of the most iconic lodges in an equally iconic place. Mombo even had a book named after it and a female leopard, named Legadema, who became a movie star. It’s the one place we always wanted to visit, ever since we set my first foot in Africa. So you can understand our excitement and our emotions, the day it finally happened. READ MORE BELOW.
It seems that everyone who is a safari-addict knows about Mombo. And we am guessing many will make it so that they will go there, eventually. Indeed, this place is almost a brand on its own right.
No need to go into how beautiful the rooms are, your plunge pools right outside, private living room area, inside and outdoor shower, incredible culinary experience and the ultimate service all day long.
You might want to go to Mombo to explore this luxurious tiny property but we are guessing you will go because there are way too many tales of incredible wildlife sightings in this Chief’s island. It’s the leopards in camp, the wild dogs making a kill in between rooms, the lions bringing down a buffalo in front of the main deck, the endless birding variety…
Sometimes there’s cheetah, now there’s rhino too and then pretty much everything else in abundance. Your safari is almost equally rewarding inside camp or outside, in the surrounding Okavango Delta area.
Our time at Mombo was the most special I ever had on safari, to this day. So much so that I named my dog after it. Mombo means: “The Place of Plenty”, and once you set foot here, you will see why.
It’s one of those journeys where, once you do it, you almost only want to go there. Good problems to have, we would say.
