Mombo’s isolation and sheer diversity of habitats make the area ideal for sensitive reintroduction projects and for the greater purpose of wildlife conservation.

The Mombo wildlife area is known as the “Place of Plenty”, highlighted by the massive concentrations of plains game and predators that live here. These include all the big cats, of which lion sightings are frequent. Leopard, spotted hyaena, large herds of buffalo, elephant, giraffe, blue wildebeest, Burchell’s zebra and more abound, while cheetah and wild dog are being seen more regularly in the area. It is here that black and white rhino were first reintroduced into the Delta, to be seen occasionally by a lucky few.
