Top-end
Inside the park
Safari company
Mombo's main rival on Chief's Island, built as pavilions rather than tents for guests who want walls and air conditioning with their wilderness. The same honest caveat applies: this is inside Moremi, so night drives and off-roading are not permitted despite the fly-in price. Operated by A&K Sanctuary, part of the A&K Travel Group.

Cons

- Fly-in only, no self-drive option
- Website blocked when checked; child policy unconfirmed
- Published rates are third-party, not the operator's own figures
What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Moremi Game Reserve charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryP270 for non-residents, roughly $20.
- $20per person, per day
- VehicleP75 a day for a foreign-registered vehicle, roughly $6.
- $6per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $138 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.

Questions about Chief's Camp
Is Chief's Camp good for families?
We found no child policy or minimum age for Chief's Camp in the record, and the operator's own website could not be checked to confirm one. It has 10 pavilions plus the Geoffrey Kent Suite for up to 22 guests, so ask directly what applies to children before you book.
Can you self-drive to Chief's Camp?
No. Chief's Camp is fly-in only, reached via its own Chief's Camp airstrip on Chief's Island, with no public road access. Every guest arrives by light aircraft, and the operator's website could not be checked for transfer distance or timing.
Can you do night drives at Chief's Camp?
No. Chief's Camp sits inside Moremi Game Reserve on Chief's Island, and park rules there do not allow night drives or off-road driving, regardless of the nightly rate. This applies across every camp genuinely inside the reserve, not just here.
How much does Chief's Camp cost?
Third-party published rates put Chief's Camp at roughly $2,400 per person per night in low season up to about $4,350 in high season, fully inclusive. The operator's own website could not be checked, so confirm the current figure directly before booking.
