Fly by light aircraft from Maun to Mombo Airstrip ~30–40 minutes flight time or Kasane to Mombo ~1h20 flight time. The airstrip is ~15 minutes by 4×4 from camp; there is no self-drive access.
With identical layouts, end-of-walkway suites feel the most private and face broad floodplain views; families should request the family suite for an extra sleeping area and a larger deck.
Mombo runs a polished, chef-led kitchen with daily-changing menus and a strong local-ingredient ethos, think Botswana beef fillet, ostrich & apricot tagine, pan-fried African bream with avocado & corn salsa, and honey-and-harissa chicken skewers, alongside “old Mombo” comforts like wild mushroom lasagne and hand-chopped burgers with Kalahari truffle aioli.
Bring neutral layers (winter dawns can be cold), a light rain shell for summer storms, polarized sunglasses, binoculars, and a soft duffel to meet bush-flight rules.
Plan three nights minimum to see different predator dynamics across the Mombo floodplains, and time a late-morning session in the hide for eye-level elephants. Combine with a water-focused camp (e.g., Jao/Vumbura) for mokoro/boating that Moremi rules don’t allow at Mombo.
Guest stays help fund long-running predator monitoring, anti-poaching and rhino protection, plus community programmes via Children in the Wilderness; the camp operates with a light-footprint, solar-led ethos in a highly sensitive area.
