Vumbura Plains

The Okavango Delta in Botswana is a place that attracts tourists who want to see truly wild nature. When planning a trip to Botswana, consider staying at the VumburaPlains hotel. The facility is located within this famous UNESCO-listed ecosystem, in a grassy area flooded annually by the Okavango waters, called "melapo" in the local language. The hotel practically floats above the blue and crystal clear water. The surrounding trees create a canopy over it, making the facility a suitable choice for people looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of civilization, including families with children who want to explore the region.

This is one of the best vantage points in the Okavango Delta, as the backwaters and plains adjacent to VumburaPlains are inhabited by elephants, giraffes, impalas, zebras, antelopes, kudus and kobas. Of course, you can see hippos lazing around, dangerous crocodiles roaming the waterways, and lions, leopards and cheetahs lurking on the nearby plains. And it is the opportunities to see aquatic life that make this luxury hotel stand out. Tours by boat or the traditional mokoro of the delta are a unique experience that perfectly complements the classic car tours across the plains.

During their stay in Botswana, ornithology enthusiasts can, with binoculars in hand, look out for beautifully colored malachite kingfishers and majestic armed warriors - birds from the Accipitridae family. These are just two examples from the list of 600 species inhabiting the region. Interested guests can observe the surrounding wetlands from a bird's eye view by renting a hot air balloon or helicopter.

The excellent location of the Vumbura Plains hotel means that nature accompanies guests at every moment of their stay. Leopard cubs often come to the pool to drink water, and hippos swim right next to the facility.

The hotel was created to coexist harmoniously with the ecosystem. The electricity is obtained from photovoltaics, and the facility is involved in research on local flora and fauna, e.g. on the genetic structure of the lion population inhabiting the Okavango Delta region.
