Nestled on its own private island on Botswana’s Okavango Delta, the team behind Wilderness Safari’s have added to their portfolio the Little Vumbura Camp. Surrounded by water in its own private concession, the camp is able to view the varied and vibrant wildlife on land and on water.

The tented camp is made up of six individual accommodation tents with their own en-suite facilities and private deck that looks out over the Delta. Whilst spotting the wildlife on the horizon, you are shaded by the ancient forests of Botswana that you can appreciate from the comfort of the camp’s plunge pool. It is magically captivating, with the day turning to night as you turn your attention toward the heavens and spot the stars as they meander their way across the night’s sky on the star deck. With a vast array of experiences for you to enjoy, you can explore the landscape from every angle. The boat tours will have you exploring the delta and its water-dwelling animals up close and the game drives take you and your expert guides into the wilderness as animals make their way to the water to cool off. Even from the sky, jump aboard the camp’s hot air balloon and watch migrations below. If you’re lucky, watch a pack of wild dogs work together to track down their pray, and witness the theatre of nature play out.
