Outdoor showers are standard. It is open on three sides, and the billowing curtains between the various areas create the sense of a yacht floating through the floodplains.
Each room also has a plunge pool and 'sala' a comfortable area to lie and relax, watching the waving grasses of the floodplain.
Vumbura Plains overlooks a vast and attractive floodplain with its rooms built under the shade of cool and shady trees.
The camp comprises two 14-bedded camps linked by raised boardwalks; each has its own dining, lounge and bar area although all 28 beds or parts thereof can be utilised for larger parties.
All 14 of the luxury tented rooms are raised off the ground on wooden platforms with walkways connecting them to the main living areas. Each tented room has a large, very comfortable bedroom.
The main activity at Vumbura Plains is game viewing in diverse and scenic countryside. Open 4x4 Land Rovers and walks enable game viewing in the savannah and woodland areas.
The Vumbura area is possibly the only area in the Okavango where one can see Red Lechwe (an animal that inhabits the fringes of the waterways) and a Sable antelope.
Add in Lion, Leopard, Elephant, cheetah and Buffalo along with all the plains animals and one has an excellent all round wildlife experience in a remote and private part of the Okavango.
Birding too is great with large varieties and quantities. Walks, mokoros and boating give Vumbura Plains' guests the opportunity to enjoy Africa from a different perspective.
