Vumbura Plains Camp (6 )
Northern Okavango Delta-(Botswana)

Location:

Vumbura Camp is situated to the east of Duba Plains in the neighboring northern concession area of the Okavango Delta. It borders onto the Moremi Reserve.

Vumbura can offer both water and land activities as this area has scenic waterways and is also close to the Okavango's outermost dry sandveld and open savannas.

Accommodation:

Vumbura has 8 large tented rooms sleeping a maximum of 16 guests.

Each room has a hot and cold shower and flush toilets en-suite.

The rooms are tastefully decorated and give Vumbura guests a wonderful feeling of being out in remote Africa - while still being comfortable.

Facilities:

The water levels around the camp change each year depending on the level of the annual floods from central Africa. The privacy of this area is one of Vumbura's main attractions - with a great all round Okavango Experience. The main dining, lounge and pub area is tucked beneath a canopy of indigenous trees with a superb view across the floodplain. The camp also has a plunge pool.

Game Viewing / Activities:

Vumbura offers mokoro (dugout canoe) excursions. walks, boating and game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, accompanied by experienced guides. Vumbura has both the wetland and savannah species of wildlife - Red Lechwe, Waterbuck, Hippos, Crocodiles as well as Sable, Kudu, Wildebeest and Tsessebe which roam the open plains. 

Herds of Buffalo and Elephant occur here, along with the predators - Lion, Leopard, Wild Dog and Cheetah. Guests who enjoy their birding will love the combination of all the Okavango water "specials" as well as acacia and mopane species in the dry woodlands.

Community Involvement:

The camp is part of the same community participation plan as Duba Plains.

The aim is to bring the communities, who live around the Okavango Delta, into the tourism mainstream.

The villagers who live to the north of the Okavango have been granted  the rights to this area, allowing them to derive direct benefits from the wildlife through significant concession fees, employment opportunities and training.
