"Pom Pom Camp review"
The guiding and wildlife sightings were terrific. Lions on a kill during the day and at night, a leopard hunting, hyena stealing a kill from a leopard were all observed. We also saw a very large python. A scientist studying pangolin was present during our stay. He has radio tagged one animal that we were able to see. This was unexpected and simply good luck.
Our accommodations were great except the room still smelled of either new paint or varnish. It wasn’t enough to inquire about a room change, but we would want to avoid that in the future.
Also noteworthy, the rooms were meticulously clean. Hot coffee at 5:30am wake up call was much appreciated. Camp Managers and Staff were friendly and welcoming. We would return to this Camp." See all these reviews: 7n in Botswana

"Pom Pom Camp review"
The tents are much smaller than others in the Kwando portfolio, but they are homey. And secure. And have the most amazing view of the waterhole out front.
My guide (Major) and tracker (Skills) took me to see a Rhino one morning. On a neighbouring concession, with permission. It was beyond what I hoped to ever see in Botswana. He is in need of a girlfriend (a bit of testosterone buildup has him a bit cranky), and hopefully a lady friend will be in his future. I mentioned what an amazing birthday present that was for me......and, well, Major must have put things in drive, as we had an amazing, celebratory evening!! Dancing and singing at Sundowners. And again at dinner, with birthday cake for all. I didn't need any such celebration, as I was travelling solo, but what an amazing, surprising night it was!
I did a walking safari one morning. Wasn't expecting much. But my goodness.....it was FANTASTIC!!
The concession is smaller, but easier to traverse. And it's beautiful. Palm fringed. Green (at this time of year). But......be warned. I expected to be able to do Mokoro and motorboat excursions, and no, November isn't a time for this (I wish I had done a bit more research, as Lagoon would have been the perfect sight to experience both the Mokorro, and the motorboat experience."

"Wonderful first safari at Pom Pom "
The vehicles were not crowded (often only four guests per vehicle) and on our first game drive in the afternoon/evening we had much to see, including a pride of lions and a pair of buffalo: later that evening, the lions had killed one of the buffalo - quite an introduction. Another high spot was a leopard with her cub with their kill which we were able to see very close up without disturbing them
The guides asked at the outset what were our preferences, and game drives, mokoro trip and boat trips were all superb with explanations and lots of photo opportunities.
Pom Pom camp and the Delta were wonderful." See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe
"third and last camp on botswana trip"
Room facilities good. Good wildlife including a freshly killed large kudu being consumed by a pride of 9 lions.
My guide was rather quiet and had to be asked for information but when it came it was very good." See all these reviews: 9n in Botswana
"Pom Pom Camp was our favourite place to stay"
The Pom Pom concession is varied and very beautiful even at the end of the dry season. We loved our Mokoro boat trip - so close to so many beautiful birds - and our young guide was so knowledgeable.
We were taken out on our game drives by Max, an experienced and expert guide who took us to every part of the concession in the 2 days we were there, and found some remarkable wildlife for us including hyena cubs and a pack of wild dogs. All the staff were friendly, warm and welcoming." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia; 8n in Botswana; 1n in Zimbabwe

"Pompom for game and birds"
The camp managers took good care of visitors, and the staff were always helpful.
Our guide who took us fishing was not familiar with the requirements of anglers using fly, but was ready to learn." See all these reviews: 14n in Botswana
"Pom Pom review"
Good activities and drives although quite quiet when we were there. Macorro boat trips good. Lovely singing and dancing from the staff and great atmosphere at night.
Also rated highly by everyone we met who had been there." See all these reviews: 12n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia
"Pom Pom review"
Wonderful situation on the lagoon. Game drives/walks and mokoro trips all OK, although we both worried that the vehicles went too close to animals sometimes - obviously great for us tourists but surely can't be good for the animals." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana
