Sanctuary Baines' Camp
- Moremi Game Reserve, BotswanaSet in a grove of trees, and surrounded by papyrus beds, Sanctuary Baines' Camp is built on raised platforms high above the Boro River in a private concession bordering the Moremi Game Reserve.
Mombo Camp is located in the Mombo Concession, on the northern tip of Chief’s Island within the Moremi Game Reserve. The area boasts enormous concentrations of plains game and predators which begin virtually on Mombo’s decks, with the surrounding floodplains teeming with game year-round.
Built under large, shady trees, Mombo’s nine spacious en-suite tents are raised two metres from the ground providing excellent views, with a long veranda, a sala and indoor and outdoor showers. The camp's main living, bar and dining areas are under thatch, while the boma adds traditional flavour to delicious dinners under the stars. There are two plunge pools in which to soak and a gym to work off the excellent food.
The superb wildlife in and around Mombo Camp warrants either spending time viewing wildlife from a vehicle or from the deck at camp.
Game drives via open 4x4 Land Rovers each accommodate a maximum of six or seven guests, allowing each guest a 'window' seat. Please note that as we are in Moremi Game Reserve, night drives are not possible at Mombo Camp.
There is a hide 20 minutes from camp from which you can view and photograph animals and birds.
