Little Vumbura Camp











Little Vumbura: Our View
A stunning location deep in the Okavango Delta, superb game viewing, luxurious accommodation and excellent service - Little Vumbura Camp has it all. This is certainly a strong contender for the best all round camp in the Okavango Delta! The only thing that stops us from recommending Little Vumbura Camp to all our clients is the high price tag for much of the year which puts it beyond many peopleâs budgets.
This is one of 3 camps that Wilderness Safaris have in the Vumbura concession - the other 2 being Vumbura Plains North and Vumbura Plains South. Although not as luxurious, Little Vumbura Camp is still of a very high standard and its cosy and intimate ambience means we often prefer it to its very upmarket sister camps.
Little Vumbura Camp is located on an island in the Okavango Delta, permanently surrounded by water and accessed only by boat. Â So, like the other âwaterâ camps in the Okavango Delta, Little Vumbura enjoys a really scenic location and offers mokoro and boat safaris. But, unlike other âwaterâ camps where the game viewing can be quite limited, a short boat ride away from Little Vumbura Camp is the wonderful Vumbura plains area where they can do game drives. And this is one of the best safari areas in the Okavango Delta. This is what makes Little Vumbura Camp so special for us - you really do get the best of everything.
Little Vumbura is not cheap but for clients who have the budget for it, it is well worth the money. Of all the camps in the Okavango Delta in this price bracket it is definitely one of the best. Not surprisingly, it is very popular so if you want to guarantee getting space here you really do need to book well in advance.
