Little Vumbura Camp

Little Vumbura Camp is an extraordinary destination in the heart of Botswana's pristine wilderness. This camp is a cherished gem among our team at Safari Guru and a favourite among travellers seeking an outstanding safari experience.

Located on a picturesque private island in the northern region of the renowned Okavango Delta, Little Vumbura shares this remarkable landscape with its opulent and larger sister camp, Vumbura Plains. Together, they offer a glimpse into a world where untouched nature and authentic luxury coexist.

Little Vumbura Camp features a plunge pool and a dedicated reading area, complete with a wooden chair swing overlooking the expansive floodplains. Across a bridge from the dining area, you'll find a star deck and firepit that extends over the water, providing an ideal spot to admire the mesmerising starry nights under some of the least polluted skies in the world.

Getting to Little Vumbura Camp is an adventure in itself. Guests disembark onto a floating jetty after a brief boat ride to the island, setting the stage for your memorable safari experience.

Little Vumbura Camp Accommodation

The main areas of Little Vumbura Camp feature lofty canvas roofs and open sides that seamlessly blend the interior with the surrounding nature. The lounge, adorned with brilliant blue décor, reflects the watery landscape and offers comfortable sofas and armchairs with captivating water views.

The camp provides six spacious safari tents shaded by an ancient forest canopy and connected to the main area by wooden walkways. Each tent exudes comfort and is elegantly furnished in soft neutrals with touches of indigo. With pale timber floorboards, floor-to-ceiling mesh windows, and high canvas roofs, these safari tents create a sense of spaciousness and light. Among the six tents, you'll find a family tent with two en-suite bedrooms and a honeymoon tent featuring an outdoor bath.

Inside each tent, you'll discover mosquito netting-draped double or twin beds and cozy chairs. The en-suite facilities include a refreshing shower and a separate toilet. Each tent also boasts a generous deck offering breathtaking vistas across the glistening Okavango floodplains.

Little Vumbura Camp Safari Activities

Little Vumbura Camp is set within an exceptional area teeming with ecological diversity. Here, you'll encounter seasonal floodplains, permanent channels, and dry woodlands, creating a haven for a wide range of wildlife and activities. On land, anticipate awe-inspiring sightings of big cats, including majestic lions and elusive leopards. You'll also have the chance to encounter endangered wild dogs, massive herds of elephants, and hundreds-strong groups of African buffalo.

Immerse yourself in water-based adventures, including a serene glide through the channels in a traditional dugout canoe known as a mokoro. For a slightly more adventurous pace, embark on a leisurely motorboat excursion to spot hippopotamuses, crocodiles, and a mesmerising array of bird species. Fishing enthusiasts will appreciate the opportunity for catch-and-release fishing for bream and African pike.

With a touch of luck, your water-based activities may lead you to discover floating bars or stunning sundowner setups on neighbouring Phi-Phi or Shumba Island. Alternatively, elevate your experience by taking a scenic helicopter flight, offering a bird's-eye view of the floodplains and the diverse wildlife that calls this region home.

This camp pairs wonderfully with other incredible destinations like Savute Camp, Selinda Camp, Qorokwe Camp, or Chitabe Lediba Camp. We look forward to assisting you in planning an unforgettable safari adventure in the heart of the Okavango Delta.

This was our 4th trip to Africa and by far the best ever. All the details were properly handled; we had not flight problems or delays and the service provided by Safari Guru was outstanding. I would recommend them, and have to friends and family. We will be going back to Africa with the outstanding Staff of Safari Guru.

We recently returned from Kenya, had a fabulous safari designed by Deon de Villiers of Safari Guru. We had some wonderful sightings and the whole thing went without a single hiccup. The guides were excellent. Deon was so helpful in allowing us to reschedule several times due to COVID restrictions preventing travel. We visited Sirikoi in the Lewa Conservancy and Serian Ngare, Serian Nkorombo and Mara Plains at Masai Mara, each place offering a different experience, each special in its own way. Loved the rhinocerous at Lewa, giraffe giving birth at Ngare, hippopotamus at Nkorombo and cats at Mara Plains, and so so much more. We highly recommend Deon and the Safari Guru team.

We finally got to take our Kenya/Rwanda adventure with Safari Guru post pandemic. Our trip was a fantastic experience that immersed us in Africa. The holiday went as planned, everything was organised so we were gently steered from place to place, which we enjoyed as we found we weren't "travel fit" after sitting on sidelines for two years! Our lodges in Kenya were beautiful, nice and small, felt like you were part of a family, rather than a customer! Rwanda was a highlight, an amazing country with a shocking past that is moving forward beautifully. The advice from Deon to do two gorilla walks was perfect. Our first day we hiked in to mountain and when we got there the heavens opened and it didn't stop! The scouts found 6 gorillas for us to glimpse as they were hiding from rain too! We trekked down in the mud, rivers of water ending up bedraggled! It was a great experience but the next day was perfect! Beautiful blue skies, trekked up and gorillas were everywhere, sunning themselves and eating vigorously. Was awesome being so close and they couldn't care less! Would highly recommend safari Guru, they planned us a perfect holiday and are easy to contact with queries and answer promptly. Travelling on our own was great as each place we stayed, there were like travellers from around the world to socialise with. Thanks Deon and Ashley

I was completely blown away with the service I received from Safari Guru. We had a most marvellous holiday in South Africa, Botswana and Namibia. Everything went extremely well and the Wilderness team were excellent in looking after us at each of their safari camps. Well done to Deon and Ashley, Morag Cotsell

Had an amazing experience working with Deon and Safari Guru. My wife and I went into this trip thinking of it as a once in a lifetime experience. Because of our experience we have another trip in mind to bring our children so they can have the same amazing experience that we had. Thank you Deon! We look forward to seeing you again!

Safari Guru organized us an amazing journey in Namibia for our wedding anniversary; it will be long lasting and marvelous memories for years! We also greatly appreciated the dedication and support of Safari Guru's team during these challenging times of the Covid pandemic as they had to re-arrange 2 times our trip initially planned for 2020. Thanks and kudos to Deon and all at Safari Guru!

Botswana! What an incredible destination as we begin to travel again. This is a trip of a lifetime. The game drives were exhilarating, the people are friendly, the food fantastic, and the accommodations are meant to spoil you. Our trip was beautifully planned and executed by Deon De Villiers and his team at Safari Guru. They have been to every camp they recommend and tailor your safari experience to you. What else could you ask for! We will travel with them again and highly recommend Safari Guru to plan your next trip!
