Botswana Safaris: LITTLE VUMBURA CAMP

Okavango ~ Vintage 5 Camp

Little Vumbura is situated on an island ion a private reserve in the northern reaches of the Delta - in the same region as its sister camp, Vumbura Plains. It is a beautiful six roomed tented camp, shaded by the canopy of an ancient Okavango forest. Each tent is large and roomy and has en-suite facilities, along with an outdoor shower. A plunge pool and reading area overlook the floodplains.

Surrounded as it is by water and lying close to large rivers, water-based activities are the focus, with mokoros traversing the floodplains under the guidance of experienced polers. Open 4x4 Land Rovers allow guests to get close to animals in the savannah areas. Walks (on request) around the islands give the opportunity to enjoy Africa from a different perspective. The game viewing is consistently good all year round with lion, leopard, elephant, sable and buffalo along with extensive plains game providing an excellent all around game experience in this remote corner of the Okavango.

This camp is part of a community participation plan that aims to bring the communities who live around the Okavango Delta into the tourism mainstream.
