Little Vumbura moments
Marvel at the sheer size of a buffalo herd, (hundreds-strong) moving between islands. Keep a lookout for endangered African wild dogs, a privileged sighting, and leopards staking their territories. Spot our resident elephant, often seen around the island, eating the sweet fruit dropped by the African mangosteen trees.
