The Okavango Delta is considered one of Africa’s most extraordinary areas of wilderness, as water floods in from the land that surrounds this enormous landscape each year, creating the ideal habitat for a diversity of species, with predators following their prey. The Vumbura Concession covers approximately 150,000 acres of this inland delta of channels, lagoons, swamps, floodplains and wooded islands, and it’s here amid the flooded plains and acacia trees, alongside herds of elephant and buffalo, that Vumbura Plains can be found. Divided into two — the north and the south — this luxury camp sits harmoniously within its surroundings, providing a privileged base for seeking out species such zebra, giraffe, lion and the region’s abundant birdlife. Add to this the decadence of the camp’s expansive suites, encompassing private decks and plunge pools overlooking the floodplains, and open-sided living areas that become the setting for candlelit fine dining and fireside aperitifs by night.
