Little Vumbura is an intimate and remote - but eminently comfortable - camp, built on a secluded island in the private Vumbura reserve.
Little Vumbura camp is a beautiful six-roomed tented camp shaded by the canopy of an ancient Okavango forest. Each tent is large and roomy and has en-suite facilities. Like all classic camps the rooms are enormous but have ample space to maintain that cosy feel. A big double bed on one side and the bathroom area on the other. The central section has a couple of arm chairs, a desk and storage space. At the foot of the bed is a sliding door that leads out to a decking with some chairs and a sofa.
The camp is surrounded by water, both permanent deep channels and seasonal shallower floodplains, with access to good tracts of dry areas of open plains, woodlands and riverine forests. It's an interesting reserve, which has a particularly diverse set of environments within easy reach of the camp, as well as a high density of game.
Little Vumbura shares its concession with its more opulent sister-camp, Vumbura Plains.

As Little Vumbura lies close to the permanent channels of the Okavango Delta, water-based activities form a key part of the game viewing activities all year round with mokoros traversing the floodplains under the expert guidance of your guide and poler. Land based activities are offered in open, especially adapted 4×4 vehicles which allows guests to get close to animals in the savannah areas, whilst walks are available on request, giving guests the opportunity to enjoy Africa at a more gentle pace. Game viewing is consistently good with lion, leopard, elephant, sable and buffalo along with abundant plains game providing an excellent wildlife experience.

This was the 3rd of 4 camps on a 12 night safari in Botswana. We stayed for 3 nights & had a fantastic time. This feels a very special place from the moment you get on the boat for the 15 minute ride...
