Vumbura Plains Camp

Vumbura is actually divided into two smaller lodges of seven suites, each with their own separate main areas. Although not identical, the North and South camps are very similar: raised wooden platforms lead into sunken outdoor lounges decorated with soft, earthy-toned cushions. The main areas are organic and natural and feel almost a part of the landscape but with all the mod-cons to make you feel right at home - coffee machines, a well-stocked bar and a refined curation of African-chic ornaments and sculptures. Dining mostly takes place outside on the deck.

Vumbura consists of fourteen palatial open-plan suites with contemporary, natural decor. Its clean lines and strikingly simple decor paint a sophisticated picture. The suites, which are raised above the water, are as impressive as their expansive views. Each one is equipped with a beautiful, luxurious interior, complete with a sunken lounge, a private deck and a plunge pool. Indoor and outdoor showers allow guests to make the most of the star-spangled skies, while huge panels of glass make for uninterrupted views of the water.

Day and night game drives, each offer their own atmosphere and attractions, while guided walks reveal yet another layer of this fascinating piece of Africa. Due to the density of big game, nature walks are at the discretion of the highly-skilled guides. In terms of aquatic activities, you can choose from, seasonal catch and release fishing, serene mokoro (dug out canoe) trips, or boating safaris. All of these are dependent on the ever changing water levels. For a dose of culture, visit one of the villages of the Okavango Community Trust.
