The place of plenty
Set in the heart of the Okavango Delta, this is a very special area that is among the best big game viewing areas in Africa, and it has the camps to match. Luxury Mombo Concession safaris offer an unparalleled window into this pristine wilderness, combining world-class hospitality with a front-row seat to nature’s most dramatic displays.
Dubbed by many as the predator capital of Africa, the Mombo area covers the northwest tip of Chief’s Island. This specific geography is crucial; it is the first point to receive the nutrient-rich floodwaters of the Okavango River. These waters transform the landscape into a lush haven, drawing in massive herds of plains game, which in turn attracts an extraordinary density of lions, leopards, and spotted hyenas.
Mombo plays a primary role in the conservation and biodiversity protection of the Moremi Game Reserve, the core of the Okavango Delta. It has historically been a stronghold for the “Big Five,” playing a particularly vital role in the successful reintroduction of both black and white rhinos to the region.

When to visit the Mombo Concession
The best time to visit the Mombo Concession is during Botswana’s dry season (May–October), for peak wildlife viewing as animals gather at water sources, with July, August and September often cited as the best months for classic big-game safaris. However, Mombo offers excellent year-round viewing, with the green season (November to April) providing lush landscapes, abundant birdlife, and a different beauty, though with potential travel challenges due to rain.
