Welcome to the Vumbura Concession
Home > Botswana Safari > Okavango Delta >This massive 220,000-acre wilderness must surely be one of our favourite areas anywhere in Africa. Situated in a remote part of the northern Okavango Delta, it is accessed exclusively by light aircraft from Maun, Kasane or other camps in Botswana. In this wonderfully healthy ecosystem, you can even drink the water straight from the swamp itself!
The unique combination of habitats means that almost every species to be found in the Delta may be seen here. For instance, it is one of the few places in the world where sable antelope and red lechwe are found together. The predator viewing can be fantastic with lion, leopard, wild dog, cheetah and hyena all making regular appearances. The larger iconic species such as elephant, buffalo, hippo, giraffe and zebra are also present in good numbers. This is all rounded off with an exceptionally diverse range of birds to keep anyone delighted.
Another product of this unique combination of habitats is the ideal mix of 70% dry activities and 30% wet activities. The dry activities will allow you to cover more ground in your search for big game whilst the wet activities will allow you to experience the beauty and serenity of the classic Okavango habitats. Day and night drives, walking safaris, makoros and boating safaris are all possible here, as well as fishing in season.
Because it is a private concession off-road driving is also permitted in search of special sightings. Unusually for the Delta, the game viewing is actually very consistent and reliable throughout the year. In fact, we strongly believe that this is one of the very best concessions in Botswana!
