Little Vumbura is situated on an island in a
private concession in the northern reaches of the Okavango Delta, in
the same region as its sister camp, Vumbura Plains.
It is a beautiful six-roomed tented camp shaded by the canopy of an
ancient Okavango forest. Each tent is large and roomy and has
en-suite facilities. A plunge pool and reading area overlook the
floodplains and a star deck leads off the dining area.
Surrounded as it is by water and lying close to large rivers,
water-based activities are a focus with mokoros traversing the
floodplains under the guidance of experienced polers, and motor
boats 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 with lion, leopard,
elephant, sable and buffalo along with extensive plains game
providing an excellent all-round wildlife experience in this remote
corner of the Delta. Little Vumbura is part of a community
participation plan bringing the communities that live around the
Okavango Delta into the tourism mainstream.
