Vumbura Plains solves the Delta’s great either/or: its vast private concession in the far northern Okavango holds permanent water and open hunting plains side by side, so a single camp delivers game drives, boating and mokoro without moving.
The camp’s raised contemporary suites — long sightlines, plunge pools, more gallery than tent — float over the floodplain grass. The concession partnership with local communities is long-standing, and sable and wild dog are local specialties.
Water and land in one concession — mokoro in the morning, big game in the afternoon, contemporary suites in between.
— Evance & JenniferYou never pay more than booking direct — usually less. And everything around the lodge is handled.
As a trade partner we access preferred rates and seasonal offers the lodge doesn’t always publish — you’ll never pay more than booking direct. And a lodge can only sell you its own beds; we build the journey around it: international flights, the right nights, and where you go next.
A private car waiting at the airport, light-aircraft hops timed to your route, and a guide who already knows your name. Book direct and the gaps between camps become your problem; book with us and there are none.
We know how Vumbura’s water levels run month by month — which weeks give you drives and mokoro in the same day — and whether one both-worlds camp or a two-camp pairing suits your dates better.
A missed flight, a weather delay, a change of heart mid-trip — you contact one person, and we re-arrange everything behind the scenes. The lodge looks after you on property; we look after the whole journey.
