Safari

Vumbura Reserve offers an enormous area of nearly 130,000 acres, offering land and water-based activities in a wonderful variety of habitats. With a great diversity of wildlife, the main activity at Vumbura Plains is game-viewing and open 4x4 Land Rovers allow close proximity to animals in the savannah and forested areas.

Vumbura is possibly the only area in the Okavango Delta where you can see Red Lechwe and the Sable Antelope on the same game-drive. Add in lions, leopards, elephants, cheetahs and buffaloes, along with all the plains animals, and you have an excellent all-round wildlife experience in a remote and private part of the Okavango.

Climate

The Okavango Delta is flooded from June through to October, making it one of the best times to visit. This is also the dry season, so the flooded plains become filled with thirsty wildlife. The ‘green’ season months of January to March shouldn’t be excluded as this is when a lot of the young are born, birdlife is in abundance and the camps and lodges are less crowded.

Getting There

Your Luxury Travel Specialist will advise the best travel arrangements according to your bespoke itinerary.

Safari

One of the very best wildlife spotting destinations in Botswana and beyond, the Okavango Delta houses large concentrations of animals on both a permanent and seasonal basis. A myriad of species can be spotted on game drives across the delta – including elephant, hippo, lechwe, wildebeest, giraffe, crocodile, lion, cheetah, leopard, black and white rhinoceros and much, much more. The delta is also home to a huge density of endangered African wild dog.

Safari
Mokoro Canoeing

Get closer to nature on a guided glide through the reeds of the Okavango Delta in a traditional dugout canoe known as a mokoro. An expert ‘poler’ guides the vessels silently through the waterways and channels, allowing you to sit back, admire the scenery and spot the delta's wealth of birdlife. To experience a gloriously quiet and calm side to this inland oasis, head out as dawn breaks, navigating a network of water channels as they reflect the morning light. Pass by lions, leopards and Nile crocodiles stalking among the reeds.

Mokoro Canoeing
Helicopter Flights

Take to the skies for an aerial perspective of the Okavango Delta, looking out for herds of elephant and lechwe splashing through the water below. From the air, the unique and raw beauty of the delta becomes even clearer, comprising a patchwork landscape of islands, plains and lagoons.
