Accommodation in the heart of the Okavango Delta, Pom Pom Camp is in the style of safari camps of old offering land (game drive/walk) and water safaris (mokoro)
Okavango Delta Accommodation
The Okavango Delta is the largest inland water system / delta in the world and here you will find our Okavango Delta accommodation.
Due to the vast amounts of water, it attracts large numbers of wildlife and birds. As a result; it is one of the best safari regions in Botswana and indeed, Africa. An Okavango Delta Safari is, therefore a must; for anyone visiting Botswana.
In the Okavango Delta, camps and lodges are required to be non-permanent. To reduce the impact on the environment. This means, there are no large safari lodges in the Delta. Therefore, accommodation is smaller and more exclusive at the camps. Consequently; there are fewer vehicles in your concession. It also means it is best to book your Okavango Delta accommodation well in advance.
Where to stay in the Okavango Delta
Okavango Delta accommodation is defined by the activities each camp offers. With 3 general categories: Land, water, or mixed. We highly recommend combining a land camp with a water camp. But if you are short of time; using one mixed camp is good.
Water camps offer boating, mokoros, and walking. They focus on the unique delta ecosystem. With its distinctive waterways, birds, and aquatic creatures. Their locations do not usually support the big game or game drives. As such; these are generally slower paced safaris. One thing to note is the levels of water as when there is drought, this can mean boating / mokoro safaris may not be able to operate.
Land based camps offer game drives and frequently walking safaris. While there is water around, water activities are not offered here. As conditions are just not suitable.
Mixed camps offer both land and water activities. However, this is subject to water levels. Some of these camps can’t offer their water activities for the whole year. There are a couple of camps that can guarantee water and land activities all year. But not all of them. It is best to check with us when you know your dates.
