These dugout canoes, expertly poled by local guides, offer silent passage through lily-covered channels where you'll glide past bathing elephants and witness aquatic birds in their natural habitat. Departing directly from camp during high water periods, these peaceful journeys provide intimate encounters with the delta's smaller inhabitants, from tiny painted reed frogs to vibrant malachite kingfishers. The mokoro experience connects guests with centuries-old transportation methods still used by local communities, making Pom Pom one of the most authentic delta camps for cultural immersion.
