Why Vumbura Plains?

The Best of Both Worlds

Explore the Delta through day and night game drives, mokoro excursions and guided walks across a remarkably varied private concession.

From Elephants to Sitatunga

The concession supports large herds of elephants and buffalo, major predators and rare wetland species such as sable and sitatunga antelope.

More Freedom to Explore

Fewer vehicles, night drives and walking safaris create more intimate wildlife encounters than are normally possible inside public national parks.

Room to Slow Down

Vumbura Plains is one of Wilderness Safaris’ most spacious Delta camps, with generous suites, private plunge pools and elevated decks overlooking the floodplains.

Experience Every Side of the Okavango

Follow predators across the plains, drift silently through Delta channels and unwind beside your private pool in the heart of the wilderness.

Elevated Safari Tents

Classic Safari Character, Modern Comfort

The elevated safari tents provide a stronger sense of traditional under-canvas adventure while retaining the comfort expected from a luxury Delta camp.

Each tent includes a comfortable bedroom, en-suite bathroom and private outdoor deck overlooking the surrounding floodplain.

Raised wooden platforms improve the views and allow air to move beneath the structures while reducing their impact on the landscape.

Natural textures and simple contemporary finishes create a relaxed atmosphere that keeps attention focused on the wilderness outside.

Guests can enjoy morning coffee, afternoon rest or quiet wildlife observation directly from their private deck.

Best suited to:
Safari traditionalists and travellers wanting an immersive tented experience without sacrificing comfort.
