Scheduled light-aircraft flight from Maun ~35–45 min flight time or from Kasane airport ~60 min flight time, landing at Vumbura airstrip; short game-drive to the jetty, then ~15-minute boat ride into camp (water levels permitting).
Honeymoon tent (end of the boardwalk): most private; the only tent with an outdoor bath overlooking the floodplains, perfect for stargazing soaks. Family tent: two interleading en-suite rooms on a larger deck which is ideal for families who still want the island atmosphere.
Fresh, seasonal, and proudly local, think bush brunches and boma nights, with signature touches like ditloo (local black-eyed peas) salads and marula-inflected desserts; expect Botswana beef on the grill and thoughtful vegetarian options. Meals are mostly communal with private tables on request.
Neutral layers for cool mornings and warm afternoons; lightweight waterproof shell (summer storms); wide-brim hat & polarized sunglasses; binoculars; camera beanbag; sandals plus closed shoes for walks; high-DEET repellent even though the camp supplies some.
Because access is by boat, your afternoon game drive often returns by spotlighted boat - magical for owls and lechwe silhouettes. Ask for a sunrise mokoro on mirror-calm channels, then a late brunch back at camp. If you’re celebrating, request the honeymoon tent well in advance.
Wilderness co-leases the Kwedi/Vumbura area with local communities, supporting anti-poaching, scholarships, and livelihoods through the Okavango Community Trust while maintaining low-impact, small-camp operations.
