# Little Mombo Camp – XXL tents for two

> Little Mombo Camp is a tiny, ultra-luxurious five-tent safari camp in the Okavango Delta, Botswana, operated by Wilderness Safaris and positioned as the pinnacle of the Mombo concession experience in Moremi Game Reserve.

## Destination
Okavango Delta, Botswana, within the Moremi Game Reserve on the Mombo concession.

## When to go
The article describes a June visit, early in the dry season, with near-zero mosquitoes and cool mornings of around 6°C at dawn.

## Why visit
Only five two-person tents make it an intimate, exclusive retreat; the oversized tents combine four-poster beds, twin indoor showers, an outdoor shower, a private gazebo, and a make-up table overlooking Moremi Game Reserve, all supported by attentive around-the-clock staff and expert guiding.

## What to see
- **Moremi Game Reserve** — Views from the tent bathroom, gazebo, and outdoor shower look directly into the reserve; leopards were tracked on safari drives.
- **Mombo Camp** — The larger flagship Wilderness Safaris camp, connected by wooden walkway, offers an ethno-style lounge, sundeck, and pool as a complement to Little Mombo.

## What to do
- **Morning and afternoon game drives** — Schedule runs twice daily — departing at 6:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. — led by specialist guides into Moremi Game Reserve.
- **Bush sundowner** — Guides stop somewhere in the bush before dark for drinks before returning to camp for candlelit dinner.
- **Bush picnic lunch** — On at least one day, lunch is set up under shaded trees in the wild instead of returning to camp.

## Good to know
Guests of Little Mombo also have access to the larger Mombo Camp facilities via a short raised wooden walkway. The camp uses the same elevated wooden walkway infrastructure typical of Okavango Delta camps. Safari trips can be arranged through specialist agencies such as The Safari Source.
