VUMBURA PLAINS

KWEDI CONCESSION, OKAVANGO DELTA, BOTSWANA

In the extreme north of the Okavango Delta you'll find an eco-retreat where extraordinary game viewing is simply the status quo.

 

Vumbura Plains is a beautifully designed camp situated to the north of Mombo, in a private concession in the north of the Okavango Delta. The reserve offers a handful of visitors an enormous area to explore—nearly 130,000 acres. The camp is split between two sites with just 14 rooms total, ensuring you feel like you have the entire Okavango to yourself even at the busiest of times. During your stay, enjoy the classic morning and afternoon game drives where you can spy for Red Lechwe and Sable Antelope found only in the Vumbura area.  Add in lion, leopard, elephant, cheetah and buffalo along with all the plains animals and you're left with an awe-inspiring wildlife experience in a remote and private part of the Okavango.  When water levels cooperate, which is typically year-round, your game "drives" will also happen aboard boats and traditional Mokoros, providing you with a brand-new view of Africa.
