Located on a beautiful island beside a hippo-filled lagoon in the Okavango Delta, Pom Pom is a long-established camp that offers a haven for several notable animal species. Big cats steal the show in the monthly sighting’s reports. Leopards love to loll about the towering trees while the grasslands remain spotted hyena strongholds, and African wild dogs hunt lechwe along the flooded shores. Wildlife is prolific.
Combine this great game with classic safari tents and a stunning lagoon setting; Pom Pom is the quintessential Okavango Delta camp and is ideal for the safari traditionalist. The camp has nine tented suites with sweeping views of the Okavango scenery and a swimming pool beside the main thatched building. Guests gather at the cosy bar, firepit, lounge and dining area for homely meals prepared by safari chefs.
Activities include off-road and night game drives, nature walks, seasonal mokoro excursions, motorboat safaris, and fishing. During the flood season, mokoro trips depart from the front of the camp. Gliding silently through the lagoon, you'll encounter abundant aquatic life, including Painted reed frogs, African jacanas, malachite kingfishers and more. Motorised boating safaris provide another, more exhilarating means of exploring the enchanting network of channels and lagoons.

Operated in collaboration with the Sankuyo Community Trust, Rra Dinare Camp provides an authentic experience of Africa's extraordinary wilds hosted by the people who live there. Adjacent to Moremi Game Reserve on the southeastern side of the Delta, parades of elephants are regulars to the panoramic floodplains of the Gomoti River, as are lechwe and massive buffalo herds, after which this thrilling area is named. 'Dinare' means 'many buffalo' in Setswana, and plentiful lion prides stalk in the wake of this prey. Ebbing waterways of the Gomoti River feed luscious grasslands, and this territory contains critical dry season watering points, so game-viewing is great year-round.
Rra Dinare Camp has eight tents, including a family room, with spacious decks and a sitting area to appreciate the views. The camp also features open high thatched spaces (all the better to soak up the natural surroundings), a swimming pool, a safari shop, and a dining area where meals are taken family-style.
The Sankuyo community directly benefits from your visit. Over 60 employees at the Dinare camps are from the Sankuyo village, and further proceeds support local development.
