History
Little Mombo is an intimate three-tent camp adjoining Mombo Camp on the northern tip of Chief's Island in the Moremi Game Reserve, within the Okavango Delta of Botswana. Mombo was first established around 1990 in a wildlife-rich concession sometimes called the 'Place of Plenty,' and Little Mombo has long operated as its exclusive smaller sibling.
Both camps were completely rebuilt and reopened in 2018 under the Wilderness (formerly Wilderness Safaris) banner, with architecture by Nick Plewman Architects and interiors by Caline Williams-Wynn of Artichoke. The camps sit within a roughly 45,000-hectare concession and are closely associated with a rhino reintroduction program that began in 2001. Nightly rates run from roughly US$2,859 to US$3,190 per person.
