RESPONSIBLE TOURISM
- Rebuilt in 2018, Mombo camp maintains the integrity of its pristine environment through the use of natural materials, minimal human footprint, and 100% solar status. isolation and sheer diversity of suitable vegetation makes the area ideal for delicate reintroduction projects and for the greater purpose of wildlife conservation.
- Kwedi Concession is leased from five villages through the Okavango Community Trust in a partnership that ensures that the benefits of ecotourism are shared with the neighboring rural stakeholders.

Camps:
Mombo Camp: An opulent safari camp located just off the northern tip of Chief’s Island, the largest landmass in the Okavango, Mombo is considered the most fertile area in the Delta. Elevated on wooden decks beneath towering shade trees, Mombo overlooks a floodplain teeming with game. Elegant, expansive guest suites celebrate the history and traditions of the camp, while a large deck and plunge pool are ideal vantage points from which to observe the passing wildlife.
Vumbura Plains: Luxurious Vumbura Plains lies in an area that is a mix of water and dry land. The wildlife is diverse so that both land and water activities on vehicles, mekoro, and boats deliver an all-around African safari experience. Vumbura Plains comprises two satellite camps, each with its own main area with an expansive vista across the floodplains and furnished with idiosyncratic objets d’art. The 14 tents, raised off the ground, are unique and contemporary in design, with extensive use of light, wood, and space. Each includes a sunken lounge, sala, and plunge pool. Each of the two family units have private decks linking the two separate tents.
King’s Pool: Named for Scandinavian royalty, this stylish camp overlooks the oxbow-shaped King’s Pool Lagoon and Linyanti River system. Activities include day and night game drives, guided nature walks, and nearby hides, ideal for photographing birds and wildlife. In the dry season, guests can spend their siesta watching game come down to drink at the unique underground hide, where the water is at eye level. Seeing elephant feet and trunks almost within touching distance while safely inside is an experience that transcends that of an ordinary safari. This 100% solar-powered camp, has seven well-appointed thatch and canvas twins and one suite, each boasting a spacious bedroom and lounge area leading to a veranda that soaks up the gorgeous views of the lagoon. The sumptuous main area comprises a pool, lounge, library, dining, and convivial bar area stylishly set on expansive raised decks close to the water’s edge. An open-air ‘kgotla’ for evening dining under the stars.
