Little Vumbura and Savuti - the new camps
Little Vumbura in the Okavango and Savuti Camp in Linyanti are currently undergoing complete revamps.
At Little Vumbura, the camp has been completely demolished to make way for the new one, allowing nature to reclaim the island for a short time. The entire camp will be rebuilt, but the intimate atmosphere will be retained with only six tents (one being converted to a family unit). The tents are to be slightly larger with an improved design on the past version and will focus on better lighting, privacy and comfort. The dining, lounge and pool areas will also be enlarged, and the curio shop renovated.
Credit must go to the Little Vumbura team who have ensured that as little impact to the environment takes place during the building process as possible. All building materials have been transferred onto the island by boat and all vehicle driving has been disallowed.
Savuti is the quintessential bush camp, a very special place with many avid fans, so its rebuild aims to keep this character. The camp has been redesigned to place more emphasis on the spectacular Savuti Channel. The dining area will be turned around so that each guest has a view of the Channel while they eat. All seven tents (plus family room) will face onto the Channel, providing more privacy and better views than before. Each tent will have a snug seating area inside, as well as on a deck in front allowing comfortable viewing of the goings-on at the camp waterhole. The main deck will also now be thatched, creating a lounge overlooking the waterhole.
We will keep you posted of when the camps open
