VUMBURA
CAMP DESCRIPTION |
ACCOMMODATION
Vumbura (pronounced Vuumbera) is an 8-roomed tented
camp situated to the north of Mombo, in a private concession
bordering the Moremi Game Reserve in the extreme north
of the Okavango Delta.
Vumbura offers both water and land activities. Mekoros
(dug-out canoes) traverse the flood plains under the
guidance of polers from the BaYei tribe, who have been
using mekoros as their traditional form of transport
for hundreds of years. Boats take guests onto the larger
and deeper areas of water (water levels permitting).
Open 4x4 Land Rovers allow close proximity to animals
in the savannah areas. This is possibly the only area
in the Okavango where one can see Red Lechwe from a
mokoro in the morning, then a Sable antelope from a
game vehicle in the afternoon.
Each one of the 8 tented rooms has en-suite facilities
with hot and cold running water, a shower, and flush
toilet as well as an outdoor shower under the stars.
The main dining, lounge and pub area is tucked beneath
a canopy of indigenous trees with a view across the
floodplain.
The camp has a plunge pool. Access into this area is
only by aircraft and then by vehicle to camp. If the
waters are high in winter, we may have to access the
camp from the airstrip by mekoros or boat.
