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.

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.
