Vumbura Plains Camp

Vumbura Plains Camp is a luxury camp situated in a private concession in the extreme north of the Okavango Delta.

Vumbura Plains Camp comprises two seperate, seven-roomed, satellite camps, each with its own raised dining, lounge and bar area tucked beneath a canopy of cool, shady, indigenous trees .

Magnificent vistas across the floodplains are a feature.  A star-gazing deck with comfortable cushions protrudes into the floodplain; here you can choose to either quietly enjoy the stars above you, or join in with the post-safari banter around the cosy camp fire.

Vumbura Plains Camp is unlike any safari camp you will have seen before.  Each large, luxurious room is raised off the ground on wooden decks and each comprises a bedroom, lounge, shower and full en suite bathroom. Outdoor showers are standard.  It is open on three sides, and the billowing curtains between the various areas create the sense of a yacht floating through the floodplains.

Each room also has a plunge pool and ‘sala’ – a comfortable area to lie and relax, watching the waving grasses of the floodplain.

Vumbura Plains Camp offers both land and water activities, principally nature viewing in varied habitats in open 4×4 vehicles, nature walks, mokoro trips and boat excursions.  Whilst exploring the spectacular ecology of this area, one can enjoy close-up viewing of lion, leopard, elephant, cheetah and buffalo along with all the plains game.

Birding around Vumbura Plains Camp is incredible – with both variety and prolific numbers.  The Vumbura area is possibly the only area in the Okavango Delta where one can see red lechwe (an animal that inhabits the fringes of the waterways) and sable antelope (an animal that prefers the dry countryside) on the same game drive.

The design and style of this camp is something special.  Top-end luxury where the comfort and service is a priority.
