Seasons at Little Mombo
- When to travel
  Winter / Dry Season
  June to October
  The Peak season at Mombo Camp occurs during the dry winter months which are the most productive for game viewing in the region. This season corresponds to the Northern hemisphere’s Summer - making it a very popular season, with availability at the intimate Mombo & Little Mombo Camps becoming increasingly dear. Guests are advised to plan a year in advance to secure a trip during this peak season time.
  
  Springtime
  November to December
  The best value season, favored by photographers and safari veterans, avoiding the Peak season’s demand for better value to experience the plains. Game viewing is fantastic and the occasional light rain showers of Spring offer more greenery in the bush with a moderately mild climate to enjoy it all. Take advantage of our early Green Season Specials during this time. *See packages below for details.
  
  Early Summertime
  December 20 to January 10
  Summer in Africa comes as the Northern Hemisphere folds into the winter. On the dark continent however, Botswana is heating up with swelling floodplains. Mombo is unique for the fact that the island locale offers year round resident game where often at this time one would be hard-pressed for wildlife in Botswana. A hot festive season awaits!
  
  Summer
  January 11 to March
  Thunderstorms abound and the emerald plains are open to visitors looking for a quiet time to explore the plains.
  
  Autumn
  April to May
  Between late March and May, when the waters arrive, large mammals are able to move into the Chief's Island area, which contains rich resources of grass and acacia woodland. The wetlands are fringed by large hardwood trees providing cover, nesting areas and a variety of feed.
  
  Getting to Mombo
  
  Twice daily flights from Maun, Botswana to Mombo Camp are offered on our scheduled safari carrier: Wilderness Air, boasting the best fleet and professional safety record in the country.
