To say that our 3 nights at Vumbura Plains Camp in the Okovango Delta was luxurious is an understatement. It was our first ever stay (we are veterans of many safaris in eastern and southern Africa) in what is called a "premium" vs. "classic" safari camp. Our tented suite was approx. 30 x 50 feet inside, including a sunken living... More

This place is really luxurious. Our "room" was like a penthouse suite in Manhattan but at the end of a raised walkway overlooking the Okavanga Delta, with wildlife and exotic birds to look at. We even had our own plunge pool on the terrace. The staff were wonderful, and the food exceptional. The bush drives were exciting and we were... More

After our brief stay at Vumbera Plains South Camp, my hubby & I would like to just move in and forget the rest of the world! Everything about the camp was lovely, the staff are excellent - particularly all the local Batswanas and our guide ST was first class. Wilderness Safaries looked after us so well from the time they... More

Of the 4 game camps we stayed at, this is the only one we wished we could have stayed longer than the 3 nights we had booked. Amazingly beautiful location and property. Huge rooms (complete with baboons running across the roof!) Top notch guiding provided by Morongo, including a night drive tracking lions on the hunt. Delicious food, great staff.... More

We stayed at Vumbura from 29 dec 2011 till 1 jan 2012. Flew in from Johannesburg to Maun, then approx 30 minutes with a chessna plain to Vumbura. Great welcome at the lodge by most friendly staff!! Plan on gaining some weight while you are there, breakfast at 06.00, lunch/brunch at 11.00, tea at 16.00 and dinner at 19.00, and... More

Recently stayed at Vumbura South Camp and was very impressed with camp, excellent beds, sitting room adjacent to bedroom and huge outdoor area with sitting area and small pool. Had a fabulous time here after staying at three wonderful camps and was not sure what to expect but it exceeded my expectations. The staff, top notch, excellent executive chef from... More

Loved everything about the camp and the entire experience. The room was fantastic huge private deck and private pool. It was rustic in some ways and yet an upscale adventure. There is a refrigerated cooler that is stocked with all kinds of goodies. The shower is unique but fun. The first night was a bit strange because you could hear... More

Vumbura lodge was re-built this year following an extensive fire. We stayed here on the recommendation of our travel agent as Mombo camp (our first choice) was fully booked. Vumbura is a stylish tented camp (the tents are more like villas with canvas walls). The accommodation food and service were very good but not quite up to the standard of... More

Highlights were exceptional rooms, food, and service. As the road from the local airstrip was under water, they arranged a helicopter transfer. A nice change from the Safari vehicles. The camp was quiet during our stay, and the in-room dining was well done. We got lucky with our game viewing (saw a cheetah!) which was very good. As a minor... More
