Vumbura Plains, Okavango Delta, Botswana

Vumbura Plains Camp is a luxury camp situated in a private concession in the extreme north of the Okavango Delta and bordering on the Moremi Game Reserve. The reserve offers an enormous traversing area of close on 130,000 acres. The entire camp overlooks a vast, attractive floodplain and the beautifully appointed rooms are built under cool and shady trees. Vumbura provides game viewing activities by both land and water in a concession that has a wonderful variety of habitats and a great diversity of wildlife. Open 4x4 Land Rovers allow close proximity to animals in the savannah and forested areas. The Vumbura area is possibly the only area in the Okavango where one can see red lechwe (an animal that inhabits the fringes of the waterways) and a sable antelope (an animal that enjoys the dry countryside) on the same game drive. Add in lion, leopard, elephant, cheetah and buffalo along with all the plains animals and one has an excellent all round wildlife experience in a remote and private part of the Okavango. Birding too is great with large varieties and quantities. Walks, mekoros (local dug-out canoes) and boating give Vumbura's guests the opportunity to enjoy Africa from a different perspective.    The camp consists of two separate wings of 7 rooms each, linked by a raised boardwalk. Each wing has its own dining, lounge and bar area, also raised off the ground, and is tucked beneath a canopy of shady, indigenous trees with a splendid vista across the floodplains. The two wings can be combined to accommodate larger parties. The spacious rooms are of a light and airy canvas-under-thatch construction. They are all luxuriously furnished in a modern style and are raised off the ground on wooden platforms with walkways connecting them to the main living areas. Each room has a large, very comfortable bedroom, a lounge, a "sala" and en-suite facilities with a shower, a flush loo and an outdoor shower under the stars. Each room also has its own plunge pool.    Style Luxury safari lodge.
