Mombo is located in a group of islands at the north-western tip of Chief's Island in Moremi Game Reserve. The main Okavango River splits into its primary channels just upriver from Mombo Camp, ensuring that Mombo is the wettest and, in relative terms, most fertile area in the Delta. Mombo is located entirely within the Okavango rift system, an area with deep alluvial sand deposits, supporting mixed vegetation of swamps, floodplains, rivers, woodlands and dry woodlands. There is a high diversity of wildlife, and this is the reason why Mombo is the prime wildlife destination in Southern Africa. (from the book)

Eight miles from his truck, he found himself in the middle of a deep and remote canyon. Then the unthinkable happened: a boulder shifted and snared his right arm against the canyon wall. He was trapped, facing dehydration, starvation, hallucinations and hypothermia as night-time temperatures plummeted. Five and a half days later, Aron Ralston finally came to the agonising conclusion that his only hope was to amputate his own arm and get himself to safety. Miraculously, he survived. BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE is more than just an adventure story. It is a brave, honest and above all inspiring account of one man's valiant effort to survive, and is destined to take its place among adventure classics such as TOUCHING THE VOID.
