Vumbura Plains sits in the northern reaches of the Okavango Delta, its two camps built on raised wooden platforms with an architecturally distinctive, contemporary design that stands out even within Wilderness’s design-forward portfolio.
Rooms & Table
The Rooms
Elevated suites with glass walls and private plunge pools, connected by raised walkways above the floodplain, finished in a bold, modern style.
Food & Service
A strong seasonal dining programme served on elevated decks with wide views over the surrounding floodplain and channels.
Activities
Game drives and, seasonally, boating and mokoro canoe trips through the Delta’s channels, alongside walking safaris on nearby islands.
Wildlife & Photography
The northern Delta’s mix of floodplain and permanent water channels supports significant lion, elephant, and buffalo populations alongside strong waterbird and lechwe antelope numbers.
A Photographer's Note
The camp’s water-channel access allows mokoro-level, eye-line photography of lechwe and waterbirds impossible to achieve from a vehicle.
Conservation & Impact
Vumbura Plains operates within a community-leased concession, with lease payments flowing directly to the local Okavango community trust.
