POM POM CAMP

Pom Pom Camp

Nestled in the heart of the Okavango Delta, within the private Matsebe concession, Pom Pom Camp is a classic safari destination that offers a perfect balance of comfort, charm, and immersive wildlife experiences. Surrounded by a mosaic of palm islands, floodplains, and winding water channels, the camp is ideally positioned for both land- and water-based adventures in one of Botswana’s most iconic landscapes.

Renowned for its warm hospitality and authentic atmosphere, Pom Pom Camp is a welcoming retreat for travelers seeking a genuine Delta experience, where the rhythms of the bush set the pace for exploration and relaxation alike.

Accommodations

Pom Pom Camp features nine spacious Meru-style tents, including one family unit, all positioned to overlook a tranquil lagoon. Each tent is comfortably furnished and includes an en-suite open-air bathroom with flush toilets, hot-water safari showers, and stylish touches that blend rustic charm with practicality.

The main area is built under thatch and timber, with a lounge, dining space, and bar that open onto a wide deck—perfect for watching wildlife at the water’s edge. A sparkling plunge pool offers cool relief on hot days, and a firepit draws guests together in the evenings for storytelling under the stars.

Activities

Pom Pom offers a diverse safari program that includes both water and land-based activities, led by experienced guides who share a deep knowledge of the Delta’s wildlife and ecosystems:

• Game Drives: Morning and evening drives in open 4×4 vehicles explore the private concession, where sightings may include lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and the rare African wild dog. Night drives offer the chance to spot elusive nocturnal species.

• Mokoro Excursions: Glide through the Delta’s quiet channels in a traditional dugout canoe, observing aquatic life, birds, and the serene beauty of the wetlands from water level.

• Boat Safaris: When water levels permit, boat trips offer a broader view of the waterways and access to more distant lagoons and wildlife hotspots.

• Walking Safaris: Accompanied by an armed guide, explore the bush on foot to learn about tracks, insects, plants, and the smaller details of the Delta’s ecosystem.

• Birding: With abundant wetland and woodland habitats, the area is rich in birdlife, including kingfishers, jacanas, herons, and the sought-after Pel’s fishing owl.
