Wilderness Vumbura Plains
The ultimate all year round Okavango Delta safari.
Vumbura Plains is as lavish and lush as its beautiful surroundings. Dreamy Delta waterways, green island woodlands and golden grasses, teeming with an ongoing wildlife parade - ever-changing with the seasons and always awe-inspiring.
Vumbura Plains moments
Move seamlessly between land and water experiences, navigating floodplains studded with ilala palms and small islands. Watch lions in pursuit of prey or African wild dogs, or a leopard, on the hunt. Catch glimpses of stately sable or, thrillingly, a shy sitatunga – almost invisible in its aquatic habitat among the papyrus.
