Little Vumbura
Little Vumbura is located in a private 30 000 hectare concession, known locally as the Kwedi Reserve, bordering the Moremi Game Reserve in the northern reaches of the Okavango Delta. The camp provides an excellent all-round game experience in this remote corner of the Delta.
This beautiful six-roomed tented camp is shaded by the canopy of an ancient Okavango forest. The canvas tented en-suite rooms are large and comfortably appointed. Each tent has a veranda and both the bedroom and the bathroom have wonderful views.
The main area encompasses a pub, dining room and lounge under canvas on saligna decking. A reading area overlooks the flood plains and a star deck leads off the dining area. A plunge pool is useful to cool off during the heat of the day.
Surrounded as it is by water and lying close to large rivers, water-based activities are a focus with mekoro (traditional dug out canoes) traversing the floodplains under the guidance of experienced polers, and motor boats exploring the permanent channels.
Game drives in open Land Rovers allow guests to get close to animals in the savannah areas. Walks (on request) around the islands are an opportunity to enjoy Africa from a different perspective. Game viewing is consistently good all year round.
Little Vumbura has both the wetland and savannah species of wildlife, including red lechwe, waterbuck, hippos, steenbok, reedbuck, crocodiles as well as sable, kudu, wildebeest and tsessebe who roam the open plains. This is one of the best places to view the elegant and magnificent sable antelope. Herds of buffalo and elephant occur here, along with the major predators - lion, hyena, leopard, wild dog and cheetah. Guests who enjoy their birding will love the combination of all the Okavango water "specials" with acacia and dry woodland species.
If the water levels are high in winter, a mokoro trip and/or a boat will transfer guests to camp.
