Introduction

Vumbura Camp (pronounced Voombera) is located within a private wildlife concession just north of the famed Mombo Island, an area that offers exceptional wildlife and birdlife sights year round.

Wildlife sighted can range from Lion, Leopard, Wild Dog, Cheetah, Spotted Hyena as well as the rare Red Lechwe and Sable antelope. Without question one of the better wildlife orientated lodges in Botswana, and this is all down to location, location, location.

Contemporary and minimalist decor perfectly suited to her surrounds, combined with amazing staff and guides, delicious cuisine and all that wildlife on offer; Vumbura Camp delivers on so many levels that it is impossible to ignore.

Rooms and Suites

Vumbura Camp is divided into two satellite camps (Vumbura North and Vumbura South) each offering guests seven suites per camp (14 suites combined). Between the two camps, all suites are elevated with a wooden viewing deck, private plunge pool, lounge and sitting area, bedroom area and of course en-suite bathroom.

The plunge pool with 'sala' is in our option the highlight, just sitting back and watching the parade of wildlife and birdlife is something to behold.

All suites offer the absolute in privacy.

Cuisine and Wine

Cuisine prepared and cooked on site is varied, fresh and absolutely delicious - all inline with a lodge of this calibre.

Meals are served in various locations including the indoor dining area, outdoor viewing deck, around an open fire or even for those romantically inclined, on the deck of one's own suite.

Vegetarians and other dietary requirements are catered for with advance notice.

Lodge Facilities

Vumbura Camp consists of two independent seven-roomed satellite camps, each one featuring its very own elevated dining, lounge and bar area concealed beneath a canopy of cool, shady, indigenous trees and shrubs.

Spectacular views across the Okavango Delta floodplains certainly are a characteristic.

A star-gazing patio along with comfortable cushions protrudes into the floodplain, a location to look upwards, or perhaps a pleasant campfire setting.

Safari Activities

This luxury Okavango Safari Camp provides both equally land and water activities, primarily nature viewing in diverse habitats in open 4x4 vehicles, nature walks, mokoro trips and motorboat excursions. While discovering the breathtaking ecology of this region, it's possible to appreciate close-up viewing of lion, leopard, elephant, cheetah and buffalo together with all the plains game.

Birding around Vumbura Camp is extraordinary - with both selection and prolific quantities.

The Vumbura area is perhaps the only location in the Okavango Delta where it's possible to see red lechwe (an animal that inhabits the fringes of the waterways) and sable antelope (an animal that prefers the dry countryside) on the same game drive.
