Vumbura Plains

Okavango Delta, Botswana

If you’re seeking a luxury safari experience, this is it! Vumbura Plains is an elegant retreat offering privacy and serenity with outstanding facilities. The 14 guest rooms (of which two accommodate families) are gorgeous, with a sunken lounge area open on three sides, offering an impressionist-like panorama of the floodplain (and terrific sunset views) and an outdoor deck area with a private plunge pool. The public spaces are beautiful, too. A note: elephants love to come by the camp to munch on one of their favorite foods, the jackalberry tree. Vumbura also offers excellent predator viewing, from lion to wild dog.
