Hosts
The landlords at Vumbura are the Okavango Community Trust, a trust which represents and administers the interests of all the local folk who live to the north of the Okavango Delta in these remote villages. These communities have been ceded this reserve by Government to manage in a joint venture, for photographic safaris. The villagers lease the land to Vumbura and derive all the direct benefits in return. Money, jobs, training and the secondary businesses that can flow from such arrangements, all accrue directly to these communities. It is these villagers who can determine the well-being of the the wildlife in their area depending on their attitudes and survival needs.
Facilities
The main dining, lounge and pub area is tucked beneath a canopy of shady indigenous trees with a superb view across the floodplain. There is also a plunge pool.
