Pom Pom Camp occupies a remote and scenic position on Pom Pom Island within a private concession located in the heart of the Okavango Delta. Positioned on the western boundary of the renowned Moremi Game Reserve and accessible only by light aircraft from Maun, this intimate property represents the quintessential African safari camp—combining rustic authenticity with essential comforts while prioritizing wilderness immersion over elaborate luxury.
The island's landscape features sweeping floodplain grasslands interspersed with acacia-dotted islands, framed by the permanent Pom Pom Lagoon that defines the camp's position and wildlife viewing opportunities. The concession sits at the headwaters of the Xudum River system, an ecological position that ensures year-round water availability and consistent wildlife presence. The area benefits from both land and water habitats, permitting diverse activity options throughout all seasons. The private concession allows operational flexibility unavailable at many Delta camps, particularly regarding vehicle access and activity timing.
Nine luxury Meru-style canvas tents positioned on raised wooden decks beneath ancient jackalberry and Ilala palm trees create an iconic safari aesthetic. Each tent opens onto a private veranda overlooking Pom Pom Lagoon, where guests frequently observe wildlife approaching the water without leaving their accommodation. A distinctive honeymoon suite features an outdoor bathtub with scenic panoramic views, while a family tent accommodates up to four guests with an adjoining second bedroom. The main lodge comprises thatched and canvas structures housing a lounge, dining area, bar, and outdoor boma gathering space, with a swimming pool positioned nearby. Notably, the camp deliberately operates without electricity, relying instead on atmospheric paraffin lamps that enhance the authentic wilderness experience and create a romantic evening ambiance.
