Vumbura Plains consists of two satellite camps with 14 rooms in total. Each camp boasts a raised lounge, bar and dining area with magnificent views across the Okavango Delta. The large deck extends into the floodplain and makes for a perfect star gazing or camp fire setting.
The grasslands of the Okavango Delta surrounding the camp flood each year and offer excellent seasonal viewing of giraffe, elephant, sable antelope, impala, kudu and a variety of buck. Crocodile and hippo are also common in the waterways whilst predators like wild dog, lion, leopard and cheetah are frequently spotted. Birding is exceptional year round.
Each large luxurious room at Vumbura is raised off the ground with outdoor and indoor showers as well as an en-suite bathroom. A step down is the spacious lounge area which opens on three sides to views of the serene floodplains below. Additional room features include a 'sala" or private place to watch the passing wildlife whilst enjoying a soothing massage, as well as a private plunge pool to cool off.
Game drives occur in the morning and late afternoon and are enjoyed in an open 4x4 vehicle, accommodating up to seven guests. Night drives with spotlights offer an opportunity to view nocturnal animals with the sounds of the bush creating a unique soundtrack.
