Fully inclusive accommodation in the heart of the Okavango Delta, Pom Pom Camp is in the style of safari camps of old offering land (game drives and walking safaris) and water safaris (mokoro).
Pom Pom Camp is in the heart of the Okavango Delta. On the Xudum river system on the western border of Moremi Game Reserve. Here; hippos grunt and frolic in front of the camp, surrounded by miles of reeds. In a clear water oasis, mekoro’s (dug-out canoes. Also called mokoro’s) offer you a wonderful means of viewing wildlife as you glide between palm-fringed islands. Pom Pom Camp is a 20 minutes scenic flight from Maun.
The camp overlooks a scenic lagoon and is quietly nestled under a grove of shady trees. There are 9 x large walk-in tents, all with en suite showers, and flush toilets. Although the bathrooms are roofless, they are enclosed for privacy and most importantly safety. This is a camp for the safari traditionalist; a truly unique bush adventure.
Pom Pom Camp accommodation
One of the tents has a smaller second bedroom with it’s own en-suite bathroom for families (see below for family policies).
Facilities:
While your meal is prepared, camaraderie prevails around a campfire each night. Over hot coffee and perhaps a fine cognac, you will re-live the day’s events and compare notes on fishing and photography. In the main thatched building, you will find a cozy bar, lounge, and table settings for imaginative meals prepared by our safari chefs. Camp staff are proficient at their skills and will give you advice and suggestions during your stay. They will also give you a warm welcome at the end of each day.
Game Viewing / Activities:
Things to do on safari at Pom Pom Camp ↓
There is the possibility of seeing numerous different species of game, however, Pom Pom is also about the nature experience as much as anything else. In addition to the big game, Pom Pom is a bird watcher’s paradise and within a maze of water passages, you will find the busy Pied King Fisher and countless other birds that flourish in the waterways. One such bird is the African Jacana. Commonly known as the “Lilly Trotter”. Which with its long stick like legs, runs along the top of lily pads without causing so much as a ripple!
Game drives in new, luxury open viewing land cruisers are offered. With a tracker and a driver/guide for your comfort.
We can offer longer stay rate discounts when you combine your stay at Pom Pom Camp and any of the other Kwando Camps. In the green season, we make use of the 5 Rivers Discounted Rates for even better rates.
