Mboma Island
A long, narrow island west of Third Bridge, where a game-drive loop and boat jetty come together, often with lions, antelopes and waterbirds.
Mboma Island lies west of Third Bridge, a narrow island surrounded by waterways. A game-drive loop of about 25 km circles the island through open grassland and palm groves, where you often see lions, tsessebe, red lechwe, zebras and plenty of waterbirds. The Mboma jetty at the western tip offers boat trips deep into the papyrus channels and lagoons, one of the most popular boating spots in Moremi. Most visitors come on a day trip from Third Bridge or Xakanaxa. The road is deep sand, so a 4WD is required.
