An overview of Pom Pom Camp.
Pom Pom is the classic Okavango Delta camp, set on a hippo-filled lagoon in the private NG27A concession west of Moremi.

- Nine canvas tented suites on a hippo-filled lagoon, one with an outdoor honeymoon bathtub
- Consistent leopard sightings in the woodland habitats plus resident wild dog and lion activity

The Details
Pom Pom sits in the Pom Pom Private Concession (NG27A), just west of the Moremi Game Reserve, overlooking a lily-strewn lagoon at the headwaters of the Xudum River system. The camp airstrip is around a five-minute drive away, roughly 20 minutes by light aircraft from Maun and an hour and a half from Kasane.
This is a camp for traditionalists. Canvas tents, thatched public areas, a firepit set into the sand, and long evenings debriefing the day's game viewing over dinner. Kwando has kept the property small and intimate rather than glossing it up, and the appeal is the old-school Okavango feel: rustic, warm, and unpretentious.
The surrounding woodland and floodplain hold strong populations of leopard, lion, wild dog, elephant and spotted hyena, and the concession's private status means genuinely off-road driving and night drives that most public reserves in Botswana no longer allow.
Accommodation
There are eight tented suites plus one family suite, each raised on a private viewing deck with outside seating that looks over the lagoon or into the treetops. Interiors are furnished with armchairs, a ceiling fan, tea and coffee facilities, a writing desk and a charging station with international multiplugs and USB. En-suite bathrooms have double vanities, flushing toilets, indoor and outdoor showers with hot and cold water, and gowns. Rooms can be configured as a king double or two three-quarter twins.
One tented suite includes an outdoor honeymoon bathtub. The family suite is a standard en-suite tent connected to a smaller tent with its own bathroom, and an extra bed can be added for a third child. A digital safe, spare blankets, insect repellent and an emergency horn are provided in each tent.
Game Drives
All activities are hosted by Kwando's guide-and-tracker teams, with a maximum of six guests per vehicle so every seat is a window seat. Game drives run in open 4x4s fitted with USB ports, and photographic beanbag supports are available on request. Roof canopies can be removed at the guide's discretion when conditions allow.
Because Pom Pom sits on a private concession, guides can drive off-road to follow leopard, lion or wild dog on foot, and night drives are a standard part of the offering. Nature walks with specialist walking guides are available for guests aged 12 and over. During the flood season, roughly May to September, mokoro and motorboat trips depart from camp; fishing is available in open season, March to December.
Dining
Meals follow the rhythm of the game viewing rather than a fixed timetable. A light breakfast is served around the fire before the morning activity, followed by a tea and coffee bush break and brunch on return. High tea precedes each afternoon drive, with snacks and sundowners in the bush, and dinner is served when guests return to camp. Communal dining is standard, with indoor and outdoor options and private meals on request.
Soft drinks, local beers, spirits, and a selection of South African red, white and sparkling wines are included, along with a water fountain. Specific wines and premium spirits can be arranged in advance at extra cost. Vegetarian, vegan and most dietary requirements are catered for with notice.
Price Includes
- All meals and a fully inclusive drinks selection, including house wines, local beers and spirits
- Twice-daily safari activities, including game drives, night drives and nature walks
- Seasonal mokoro and boating trips from camp during flood season
- Complimentary laundry service (delicates excluded)
- Return road transfer between Pom Pom airstrip and camp

Current offers
Special offer available.
Honeymoon
Couples travelling within one year of their wedding receive a 50 per cent discount on the accommodation portion for one of the two guests, available at any time of year. The couple also receive a wedding gift at their first camp and a private dinner at one camp during the stay, arranged in advance. A wedding certificate or other agreed proof must be provided before travel, and the offer cannot be combined with the 5 Rivers rates or any other discount or special.
Last minute
Dynamic last-minute rates are available for travel within 30 days of arrival, subject to availability and on request at the time of enquiry.
Long stay
Stays of six nights or more, whether at Pom Pom alone or combined across Kwando camps, are charged at reduced long-stay rates, with a further reduction from eight nights. This applies in the Secret, Shoulder and Flood seasons only, and not in the Green season; nights at Chobe Safari Lodge, Chobe Bush Lodge and Nata Lodge do not count towards the total. During the Shoulder season, stays of six nights or more are charged at the lower Secret season rates with the long-stay reductions applied. Pom Pom also features in the Kwando 5 Rivers circuit for travel from 1 December to 15 April, which requires a minimum of five nights with Kwando and two nights per camp, carries a single circuit-wide camp rate and flight rate, and cannot be combined with any other discount, including child rates.
Family
Children aged 6 to 15 at the time of travel qualify for a reduced child rate, valid in the Family Tent or where an extra bed is used in a tent with two full-paying adults; one adult sharing a standard tent with one child means both pay the adult rate, and children of 16 and over pay the adult rate. The minimum age at the camp is 6 years, guests under 18 must share with an adult, and a private vehicle is required at additional cost for children aged 6 to 11. Proof of age may be requested, and the child rate does not apply on the 5 Rivers circuit, where children pay the full adult price.

Knows Pom Pom Camp backwards. Your direct contact from first enquiry to the day you come home.
With Pascal and Darren across the team.
"Jolene was simply extraordinary. She put together what became an absolutely incredible African trip for us in the space of barely three weeks, and from the outset her responsiveness, knowledge and genuine enthusiasm were exceptional. Nothing was ever too much trouble, responses were almost immediate, and she very quickly understood exactly what we were looking for, our expectations and the way we like to travel. More than simply being an expert at what she does, Jolene genuinely cared about making the trip special for us, and that came through in every aspect of her planning. What particularly impressed us was the flexibility with which she brought everything together. We already had some of our own arrangements in place, including international flights and staying with friends in Cape Town, but Jolene seamlessly incorporated those into the overall itinerary and still organised all the surrounding logistics and transfers. The safari component she designed was outstanding, taking us through Kruger, Victoria Falls, Chobe and the Okavango Delta, before finishing in Cape Town and the Stellenbosch wine region. Every part flowed beautifully and the lodges, experiences and logistics were exceptional. Just as importantly, Jolene stayed in contact throughout the trip at all the key moments, which made travelling so much easier. She would check us in for our internal flights and send through the boarding passes, confirm transfers the day before each pick-up, and make sure everything was in place before we ever had to think about it. That attention to detail, and the fact that she was always one step ahead, removed so much of the usual travel stress and allowed us simply to enjoy the trip. It was genuinely the trip of a lifetime, put together in an extraordinarily short timeframe, and Jolene deserves enormous credit for making it all happen. We could not recommend her highly enough."
