Pom Pom Camp
POM POM CAMP - OKAVANGO DELTA,
BOTSWANA
Pom Pom is located on Pom Pom Island in the heart
of the Okavango Delta. The camp sits in a private concession
to the west of the Moremi
Game Reserve and on the head-waters of the Xudum river system. Pom
Pom offers great Okavango scenery with game drives, night drives, walks
and mokoro safaris as the main activities on offer. The camp was completely
rebuilt in 2005.

An 18 – bedded safari camp, built
and designed in the style of safari camps of old. The camp overlooks
a scenic lagoon and is quietly nestled under a grove shady trees. The
camp has 9 large walk-in tents, all with en suite showers, flush toilets
and although roofless, the bathrooms are enclosed for privacy, security
and importantly offer you a truly unique bush adventure. This is a
camp for the safari traditionalist!
In the main thatched building you will
find a cozy bar, lounge and table settings for imaginative meals prepared
by our safari chefs. Our camp staff are proficient at their skills
and will give you advice, suggestions and help during your stay. They
will also give you a warm welcome at the end of each day.
Camaraderie prevails around a camp fire
each night as bushlore anecdotes are recounted whilst a gracious meal
is prepared and elegant wines uncorked. Over hot coffee and perhaps
a fine cognac, you will re-live the day’s events and compare
notes on fishing and photography – and of course plan for another
day that will be remembered long after your return to civilization.
Activities
Guests can choose from game
drives, night drives, nature walks and mokoro excursions. Night
drives in open 4x4 Land Rovers are also permitted as the camp falls outside
of the Moremi Game Reserve and therefore not subject to the more strict
Moremi regulations.
In addition to abundant 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 water
ways. One such bird is the African Jacana, or commonly known as the “Lilly
Trotter” which, with it’s long sticklike leg’s runs
along the top of lily pads without causing so much as a ripple! And…..
for your comfort, game drives are offered in new, luxury open-viewing
land cruisers, with a tracker and a driver / guide.
Wildlife
All the big predators, Buffalo, Giraffe, Zebra, and
Wildebeest can be seen. If you are lucky, some of the nocturnal animals
such as Serval, Civet and Genet may be seen on night drives. Hippo and
Crocodile are found in the deeper lagoons in the area. Birding enthusiasts
will enjoy sighting Pels Fishing Owl, African Fish Eagle, Giant Eagle
Owl and White Backed Vultures.
