Location
Little Vumbura is another of our very small
camps. The camp accommodates ten guests on
a wonderful island in the same region as its
sister camp Vumbura in Botswana's Okavango
Delta. The focus at Little Vumbura is
slightly more on the water activities than
at Vumbura as the camp is surrounded by water.
This camp is also closer to the permanent
waters of the big, fast~flowing rivers. However
game viewing by vehicle is very much one of
the highlights.
Activities
Fly-In, Safari Lodge, Wildlife, Game Drives,
Safari, Walking /Hiking, Canoeing, Honeymoon,
Fishing, Photography, Birding, LuxuryTented
Camp, Game Cruise
Attractions
Little Vumbura has both the wetland and savannah
species of wildlife ~ Red Lechwe, Waterbuck,
Hippos, Crocodiles, as well as Sable, Kudu,
Wildebeest and Tsessebe, who roam the open
plains. On game drives we often see more Sable
than we do Impala. 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"
with acacia and dry woodland species. Vumbura
and Little Vumbura are 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,
which allow them to derive direct benefits
from the wildlife through significant concession
fees, employment opportunities and training.
Facilities
Little Vumbura has five tents under an enormous
canopy of ancient Okavango forest with ebony,
marula, knobthorn, garcinia and fig being
the dominant trees. Attractive palms give
the island a wonderful tropical feel and bring
the Elephants onto the island, especially
towards the end of winter. Each tent is large
and roomy and has en suite facilities, as
well as an outside shower for those who want
to be even closer to nature. The dining room
and pub are under canvas and have been built
in and around the existing trees. There is
a pool for relaxing by in the quiet of the
day. One of the camp's attractions is the
outdoor dining area. Wooden decks have been
built on the floodplains and dinners under
the stars are a wonderful experience.
Additional Information
Like Vumbura, this camp offers the full house
of activities in boats, mekoros, walks, drives
and fishing. Game drives are conducted in
open 4x4 Land Rovers with experienced guides.
Night drives are possible nearly all year,
but may be restricted for a few months in
the middle of each year if we have extremely
high flood levels. The variety of wildlife
here is stunning. Guests can go out by boat
in the morning and see Hippos, Crocodiles,
Red Lechwe and all the aquatic wildlife ~
and then travel out by Land Rover in the afternoon
to see Elephant, Sable and all the dry savannah
game.
