Pom Pom Camp

Okavango Delta


This intimate camp was one of the delta's original luxury retreats, though frequent renovations have kept it up to speed with recent properties. Six linen tents, rather standard in design, are skilfully placed around a scenic lagoon, which contributes to the tranquil and soothing atmosphere. Some of the tents could be a little larger.

There's good wildlife in the area – we saw cheetahs and lions on our last visit to the concession.
