Pom Pom Lodge
Country: | |
BOTSWANA | | Location: | | | | Description: | | 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.
Accommodation
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.
