Wilderness Little Vumbura is nestled on a picturesque island in a private concession in Botswana’s northern Okavango Delta. Part of its charm is that it can only be accessed by boat, so epitomises a true island experience. Water-based activities are a key attraction. Mokoro and boat rides are popular activities and allow for spectacular wildlife spotting. Unforgettable adventures await all who come to visit this remote corner of the Delta. Activities include day and night game drives tracking the iconic wildlife, and water safaris by traditional mokoro, silently gliding through the channels. Boating adventures are also a family favourite, spotting elephants wading through the water, or wallowing pods of hippos. Guests may also want to try their hand at catch-and-release fishing. In camp, guests can refresh in the sparkling pool with magnificent views all around. When the sun sets, the Star Deck offers superb stargazing. The Vumbura Private Wilderness Area is leased from remote rural communities in the Okavango Community Trust (OCT). The result of this meaningful and long-standing partnership includes socio-economic benefits, livelihood diversification, and benefits from training and skills development for the people of the villages – as well as building on more positive attitudes to tourism and conservation. The largest number of employees within our Botswana operations are employed from these five villages. The annually inundated grasslands of the Okavango Delta surrounding the camp are locally referred to as melapo, and offer good seasonal viewing of elephants, giraffes, impala, sable antelope, kudu, zebras, common waterbuck, reedbuck, tsessebe, wildebeest, red lechwe, and Cape buffalos. Hippos, and crocodiles abound in the waterways. Predators include the African wild dog, resident prides of lions, as well as leopard, cheetah, and African wildcat. Birding is exceptional all year round on game drives through the savannah areas, and guided nature walks around the islands. An enchanting camp set on a compact island in the permanent waters of the Okavango Delta. Its six airy tented suites, shaded by the canopy of an ancient forest, sit on raised decks overlooking annually inundated grasslands. Each well-appointed tent, decorated in soft neutral hues with touches of indigo, has en-suite facilities, and a deck with sweeping vistas over the shimmering grasses of the surrounding floodplains. In the main area, a plunge pool and reading area overlook the floodplains, while a Star Deck is reached by a bridge leading off the dining area. This traditional and intimate safari camp is only accessible by boat and is perfect for a family or small group of friends. PRICE INCLUDES: Accommodation on a full board basis including twice daily scheduled camp activities, local drinks, laundry, park fees. HIGHLIGHTS A sublime location in the far north of Botswana's iconic Okavango Delta – a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest inland delta on Earth. Finest multi-purpose concession for year-round thrilling wildlife encounters on land and water. The beauty of the floodplains, deep waterways, and riverine and island woodlands, as well as productive, dry interior, are explored through an extensive range of activities: day and night game drives, nature walks, boating, and mokoro. Rich wildlife: numerous antelope species and predators (lion prides, African wild dogs, leopards and occasionally cheetahs, and raptors). OUR TIPS: 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.

  • Londolozi Game Reserve

    Londolozi Game Reserve Londolozi Game Reserve Luxury Game Lodge in the Sabi Sand Reserve 1/13 Location Sabi Sand Reserve, Greater Kruger National Park DESCRIPTION: Londolozi is situated on the banks of the Sand River, in the heart of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve within the Greater Kruger National Park. Going on safari at Londolozi allows you to have an exclusive and luxurious experience of the area. As a luxury private game reserve, Londolozi is world-renowned. Famous for its Londolozi Feeling, although hard to describe, it could be translated to a combination of experiential luxury surrounded by the spectacular beauty of the Sabi Sands, all the while feeling completely at home within this wilderness. Breeding herds of elephant and buffalo roam throughout Londolozi, while white rhino and lion concentrations are among the highest recorded on the African continent. Yet it’s the leopards of Londolozi that make us world famous for wildlife, and lie at the heart of the Londolozi feeling. Over the course of more than four decades, a unique relationship has developed between our rangers and trackers and generations of wild leopards. Intimate leopard sightings are frequent here, an experience that our guests agree is a pinnacle life experience. Londolozi believes in safari as a journey that immerses the senses and awakens the spirit. To have an encounter with wild animals in the African bush is to discover an essential truth about ourselves and our world. The campfire has burned at Varty Camp for nearly 100 years, making this place the symbolic heart of Londolozi. This original camp is a tapestry of brick paths, dolerite rock walls, waterfalls and tangled vines echoing simple spaces with unencumbered river view backdrops. The tones of the camp reflect the owners’ almost 100-year love affair with this land and therefore place an emphasis on family and heritage. Children over the age of six are welcome at Varty Camp and with some of the chalets inter-leading, Varty Camp is perfect for families. Each room has its own private swimming pool, outdoor shower and outdoor dining sala, framed by timber decks raised off the ground under the shade of an ancient riverine forest. Many guest activities can be found within the surrounds of Varty Camp. These include the Guest Gym, Photographic Studio and Living Boutique as well as the restorative Healing House. The charming “original Sparta Camp” located in the heart of Varty Camp, represents generations of history which echoes a bygone era before Londolozi existed.
