Mombo Camp - Accommodation

Described by some guests as canvas ‘pavilions’ and not tents, the accommodation at Mombo is some of the most luxurious to be found throughout Africa.

Nowhere is this more obvious than in the rooms. Mombo Camp itself has nine luxuriously furnished ‘pavilions’, all raised off the ground and connected by wooden walkways (that provide cover for the resident buffalo herd at night, amongst other things!!); they are perfection in enabling guests to feel at home and in harmony with their surroundings.

Each ‘pavilion’ opens up through a solid wooden panelled door into a cool and tranquil environment. The rooms are beautifully designed with private balconies giving you your very own view of the floodplain infront, double headed power showers in each of the ensuite bathrooms and huge four poster beds (and an additional outdoor shower for those of you wanting to shower under the stars!). Each room has a hallway that gives potential guests some idea of just how vast these rooms actually are.

Attention to the finest detail is obvious throughout each room; guinea fowl feathered lampshades provide the light around your mahogany writing desk whilst porcupine quilled lampshades provide the night time light around your four poster bed.

Crisp white linen and duckdown pillows make up the bed clothes and polished mahogany floors lead you all the way through the hallway to the en-suite bathroom and out to the outside shower.

Each en-suite comes with his and hers washbasins (along with the twin headed power showers), a flush toilet, full length mirrors and an array of organic bath salts and lotions that compliment the constantly fresh and fluffy bath towels.

Walk outside onto your veranda, past your reclining deckchairs and a walkway takes you further out over the floodplain to your private sala. Here you can spend langurous afternoons lazing around listening to the sounds of the surrounding bush – it is not uncommon for people to be woken up here after falling asleep during siesta time!
