This small, intimate camp embodies all that is best about the Okavango Delta – breathtaking beauty, remote, peaceful island location, abundant game and varied landscapes. Add in the warm hospitality of the people of this region – who are stakeholders in the ecotourism success story of the Okavango – and you have a winning (and beautiful) combination.

With access to varied, game-rich habitats, this six-tented camp nestles beneath the trees of an ancient island forest. A floating jetty connects land with water, and the wildlife experience can include sightings of sable, and African wild dog.

INSIDER’S TIP: Float along a crystal-clear Okavango waterway by mokoro as you scan for reed frogs and waterlilies. The hot air balloon safari is another highlight for seeing wildlife from new heights!

Our Purpose at Little Vumbura

Okavango Community Trust 

The camp a is situated in a Wildlife Management Area which is leased from five villages through the Okavango Community Trust, in a partnership that ensures that the benefits of ecotourism are shared with our neighbouring rural stakeholders.

Botswana Lion Genetics Study
