Little Vumbura Camp
Okavango Delta
Accommodation
The charming Little Vumbura Camp has six large and lovingly furnished rooms, each with en-suite facilities, veranda with lounge sofa and, of course, spectacular panoramic views. A beautiful pool is located close to the main building, which also houses a large outdoor deck with fire pit, an open dining area with bar, a very comfortable lounge and a small library. The whole is finished in the style of a typical ‘small but nice' bush camp.
Location
The camp is situated close to permanent floodwaters, so mokoro trips and all other water-based activities are on offer throughout the year. The region also has enough dry land throughout the year to offer exciting game drives with plenty to see.
Little Vumbura is the little sister of the premier Vumbura Plains Camp. It is situated on a picturesque green island and is surrounded by broad rivers and reed-covered plains in the north of the Okavango Delta. It's out of the jeep and into a motorboat for the last 500m to the camp, as you chug along greeting the hippos.
Little Vumbura Camp is only accessible by light aircraft. The private airstrip is located approximately 45 minutes from the camp. Flight time to Maun in a Cessna Caravan is 35 minutes, and 1 hour 15 minutes to Kasane.
Little Vumbura Camp is part of the private Kwedi Concession (900 km²). Vumbura Plains Camp also belongs to this concession.
Wildlife
The Kwedi concession is extremely diverse and defines in principle the border between the Okavango Delta and the Chobe region. It is also the only area where red lechwe (a species of water-loving antelope) and black sable antelope (which prefer the more arid areas) can be seen on the same game drive.
Predators such as cheetah, lion and leopard are often seen, so too are the wild dogs that like to roam around Vumbura. Elephant, large and smaller herds of buffalo and many antelope, especially the rare sable antelope, may also be encountered.
Activities
Game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, night drives. Mokoro trips and boat trips are available all year round.
Because the camp is located in a private concession, night driving with a searchlight and off-road driving for special animal observation is allowed. Close-up shots are guaranteed.
Good to know
Vumbura offers both fantastic water-based and land-based activities.
