Wilderness is delighted to announce The Sanctuary at Wilderness Mombo, a pioneering new wellness retreat deep within the heart of the incredible Okavango Delta, Botswana. It opened October 2025, and is an unprecedented retreat inviting guests to rediscover balance and peace once more among Africa’s greatest landscapes.
Wellness According to Nature
Thoughtfully designed to flow with the land, not over it, The Sanctuary’s natural forms, native wood, and alfresco rooms encourage an inner feeling of tranquility and connection. Each detail — from the lap pool that mirrors the reflective waters of the Delta to the outdoor yoga deck with vistas overlooking untouched wildlands — has been conceived to calm the body and soul.
Guests are privy to a wide range of international-standard wellness facilities, including a lap pool for exercise and reflection, a classical-style sauna with a chilling ice bath, tranquil treatment rooms, a couples’ suite, and serene meditation cocoons. A state-of-the-art air-conditioned gym with floor-to-ceiling windows and an outdoor yoga deck complete the holistic offering.
Timeless African Wisdom Encounters Scientific Modernity
All The Sanctuary treatments are formulated with the oldest healing knowledge from Africa combined with the most up-to-date technology from the science of skin. The result is an all-natural, holistic energy balancing that synchronizes your energy with the earth’s natural rhythms.
Signature treatments are The Mombo Signature Experience, a renewal whole-body ritual that incorporates a geranium scented exfoliation, African mud mask with minerals, and rosemary and black pepper oils aromatherapy massage — all culminating in a relaxing scalp and moisturizing foot massage.
Equally evocative, The Tree of Life Journey celebrates the legendary baobab tree through a nourishing exfoliation with cedarwood, geranium, and baobab oil, followed by a revitalizing citrus-scented massage enveloped in luxurious shea butter.
A Commitment to Responsible Travel The Wilderness Mombo Sanctuary is not only a spa, but it is also a proclamation of direction. It is an articulation of Wilderness’ health stance that is natural, basic, and intimately attuned to nature, but also a celebration of Mombo’s long standing position as “The Place of Plenty.”
And that is not all. With wellness growth through the brand portfolio, a sibling retreat at Wilderness Bisate, Rwanda is also set to open in December 2025, highlighting Wilderness’ dedication to responsible, meaningful travel that changes the place, and the guest, for the better.
