We stayed at Vumbura from 29 dec 2011 till 1 jan 2012. Flew in from Johannesburg to Maun, then approx 30 minutes with a chessna plain to Vumbura. Great welcome at the lodge by most friendly staff!! Plan on gaining some weight while you are there, breakfast at 06.00, lunch/brunch at 11.00, tea at 16.00 and dinner at 19.00, and... More

Recently stayed at Vumbura South Camp and was very impressed with camp, excellent beds, sitting room adjacent to bedroom and huge outdoor area with sitting area and small pool. Had a fabulous time here after staying at three wonderful camps and was not sure what to expect but it exceeded my expectations. The staff, top notch, excellent executive chef from... More

Loved everything about the camp and the entire experience. The room was fantastic huge private deck and private pool. It was rustic in some ways and yet an upscale adventure. There is a refrigerated cooler that is stocked with all kinds of goodies. The shower is unique but fun. The first night was a bit strange because you could hear... More

Vumbura lodge was re-built this year following an extensive fire. We stayed here on the recommendation of our travel agent as Mombo camp (our first choice) was fully booked. Vumbura is a stylish tented camp (the tents are more like villas with canvas walls). The accommodation food and service were very good but not quite up to the standard of... More

Highlights were exceptional rooms, food, and service. As the road from the local airstrip was under water, they arranged a helicopter transfer. A nice change from the Safari vehicles. The camp was quiet during our stay, and the in-room dining was well done. We got lucky with our game viewing (saw a cheetah!) which was very good. As a minor... More

This camp has 2 sections - North and South, each with 7 tents and each with their own dining/bar/lounge area. The tents are strung out along an elevated boardwalk and it is possible to walk the length of the 2 camps. However, you only socialise and go on drives with your own camp - having 7 tents makes for a... More

We were lucky enough to be the first guests at the new camp after it had been rebuilt, and even had the whole place to ourselves for the first night. The staff were wonderful, the lodge immaculate, the food unbelievably good. We chose this camp because it had a mixture of land based and water based acitivities, and the only... More

Had an amazing time at Vumbura Plains. Amazing staff...great accommodations, fantastic food, great game drives. Truly one of the best places. The only thing I can say...is the North Camp burned down and they're rebuilding and from the looks of it I'm not sure it's going to match the location. glass doors, Air conditioning...I hope it works...I wasn't a fan...

Loved our experience in Vumbura. Greeted by staff with smiles and singing. The staff became part of our experience, always introducing themselves and having conversations. The accomodations were simple and complete. We stayed at three camps. This one had no air conditioning but was "zen" like and relaxing and I wasn't too bothered by the bugs. The camp is divided...
