Capetown
Cape Town gets its name from the Cape of Good Hope, which is situated 40 km further south. The city was the first permanent colonial settlement and an important replenishing station for sailors on their way to India; it thus gained the name ‘Mother City’.

Cape Town is a great place to spend a couple of days. Set against the backdrop of Table Mountain and looking out towards the stormy ocean, its location is truly magnificent. The coastal road is one of the most spectacular in the world, its vines produce some of the best wines in South Africa, and it’s bursting with great and affordable restaurants. If you play golf, then the Garden Route is perfect for you – it offers some of the world’s best golf courses within striking distance of Cape Town.

Livingstone
Livingstone is situated close to the Victoria Falls on the Zambian side. The town is named after David Livingstone, who is purported to have discovered the waterfalls.

The Zambezi River originates in the northwest of Zambia and flows 2700 km to the Pacific Ocean. It also flows past Livingstone before tumbling 100 m into the Batoka Gorge, which marks the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe.

The falls are known as ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’ or ‘The Smoke that Thunders’ because the mist can rise several hundred metres above the gorge during the wet season, making it visible for miles around and therefore a well-known landmark.

If you prefer less action, then we recommend the really good camps Toka Leya, River Club and Tongabezi, which are all located some 30 minutes upstream, close to Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park. There is no helicopter noise here and the camps offer guides, who can organise everything on site and accompany you on your chosen activities.

By PlaneFlight to Little Duma Tau Camp


Little Duma Tau Camp Okavango Linyanti Botswana
3 nights

Accommodation Little Duma Tau Camp - located in northern Botswana in the Linyanti area - features a modern, chic design in light and natural colours. The view of the large open expanse of water of the Osprey Lagoon is incredibly beautiful and unique in Botswana.

Little Duma Tau is Duma Tau‘s sister camp. The two camps are right next to each other and connected by elevated walkways. Osprey Retreat is built in between the two camps offering a spa, gym, curio shop, snack deli and a large swimming pool. This area is shared by both camps. Little Duma Tau Camp however has its own main building with pool and fire pit and, with only four rooms, is suitable for guests seeking a slightly more intimate experience.

Wooden walkways lead to the four beautiful and ultra spacious rooms (142m²), each with en-suite bathroom, indoor and outdoor shower, lounge and private veranda with plunge pool and views of hippos and elephants wading in the water.

Location Little Duma Tau is the perfect base from which to discover the Linyanti region. It lies north of the Okavango Delta overlooking the Osprey Lagoon and is located close to the confluence of the Linyanti and Kwando rivers, the Zibadianja Lagoon and the Savuti Channel. The camp is surrounded by mixed forest and is perfect for wildlife photography by morning or evening light.

Little Duma Tau Camp is only accessible by light aircraft. The camp is approx. 40 minutes drive from Chobe Airstrip. Flight time to Maun in a Cessna Caravan is 50 minutes, and 45 minutes to Kasane.

Little Duma Tau Camp is part of the private Linyanti Concession (1,200 km²). There are four camps in this concession: Little Duma Tau, Duma Tau Camp, Savuti Camp and Kings Pool Camp

Linyanti Area
The Linyanti region in Botswana includes the banks of the Kwando and Linyanti rivers, their wetlands and parts of the Chobe Forests. Famous for its many predators and the rare wild dog, fantastic safaris are guaranteed in the Linyanti region.

As in the Okavango Delta, we only book stunning, highly exclusive lodges situated in unspoiled nature that are often only accessible by air. The Linyanti region can be divided into four distinct areas, namely the Kwando Concession of Kwando Safaris, the Selinda Plains of Great Plains, the actual Linyanti Block of Wilderness and the Chobe Enclave, where African Bush Camps operate some of their camps.

The Linyanti region allows you to see clearly the influence of tectonic activity in the area. It is believed that the Okavango, Kwando and Zambezi rivers originally flooded much of Botswana, including the Makgadikgadi Pans. Today, the Kwando River flows through the Caprivi Strip in Namibia and heads south towards Botswana. The water hits a slight elevation, which dams the river and forms the Linyanti Wetlands. Here it takes a sharp turn to the east before continuing its journey as the Linyanti River. It then becomes the Chobe River at Kasane before finally flowing into the great Zambezi. The Linyanti Wetlands connect to the Okavango Delta via the Selinda Spillway, a kind of overflow system of the Okavango Delta. Water has been flowing here again during the winter months for several years now, making it the ideal location for canoeing safaris. The Okavango Delta’s increased water level has also returned water to the Zibadianja Lagoon – its outlet, the Savuti Canal, now has sometimes water running along its entire length, feeding the Savuti Marsh!

Although the area has seen dramatic changes in recent years, the Linyanti River still attracts a large number of elephant and buffalo from the Chobe Forests during the dry season, and is therefore still the perfect place to experience memorable game drives.

By PlaneFlight to Vumbura Plains Camp


Vumbura Plains Camp Okavango Delta Botswana
3 nights

Accommodation Vumbura Plains Camp breaks with the classic safari style, but its modern, purist yet pleasing construction sits well in the landscape. Vumbura Plains Camp comprises two satellite camps (North and South), each with seven rooms.

Each camp has its own main building, comprising a dining area, lounge, bar and large deck. An open fire pit with plenty of seating possibilities has been built on the deck's furthest point. Here guests can sit around a blazing camp fire and review the day's events over a pre-dinner drink.

The rooms are very spacious and can be opened on three sides. In addition to the spectacular vistas and superb facilities, each room also has its own plunge pool, en-suite bathroom with large indoor shower, outdoor shower and a sofa landscape with soft cushions. There are two family rooms that consist of two separate en-suite rooms that are connected by a common deck.

Location The camp is situated close to permanent floodwaters, so mokoro trips and all other water-based activities are on offer throughout the year. The region also offers enough dry land year-round to ensure exciting game drives with plenty to see.

Vumbura Plains Camp is only accessible by light aircraft. The camp is located approximately 15 minutes from the private airstrip. Flight time to Maun in a Cessna Caravan is 35 minutes, and 1 hour 15 minutes to Kasane.

Vumbura Plains Camp is part of the private Kwedi Concession (900 km²). Little Vumbura Camp also belongs to this concession.

Okavango Delta
The unique Okavango Delta takes visitors on a journey into the past and a place evocative of paradise itself...

Guests can look forward to first-class service at exclusive and stunning lodges set amid pristine wilderness. The Okavango Delta is an inland delta in the north of Botswana, which can be accessed via Maun or Kasane. Some areas on the edge of the delta are accessible by vehicle, but the vast majority of lodges here are located deep in the delta, which means they are only accessible by air and therefore highly exclusive.

The Okavango Delta plays host to a fascinating cycle of rain, flood, drought, heat and cold. These processes determine the behaviour of the animals and their migration paths. The onset of rain in November / December leads to the appearance of spectacular green meadows as dormant flora springs back to life, trees sprout new leaves and colours become vivid and saturated. The vast majority of animals give birth to their young at the beginning of the wet season, which means the whole area is teeming with baby elephant, impala and kudu – big cat often gives birth to its young at this time too.

The sporadic rains continue until the end of March. Temperatures slowly drop and a feeling of spring sets in around April. The nights become cooler and dew settles on the grass, causing it to sparkling in the sun’s first rays of light when guests can be found pulling up their hoods in preparation for the early morning game drives. The floodwaters reach the delta in April, sometimes earlier, and, covering immense areas, expand outward like a living, breathing organism. The floodwater is basically rainwater from the mountains of Angola, which slowly accumulates in the Okavango River over a period of several months. It squeezes through the panhandle, which is where the Okavango Delta fans out, and then floods the entire region. The well-equipped game drive vehicles struggle through metre-deep water from one island to the next, leaving passengers awestruck and wondering how the journey is at all possible.

The coolest temperatures are measured in June / July, when night time lows can drop as far as 5°C, and welcome hot water bottles are duly distributed! Well-wrapped guests come prepared for the early morning game drives with hats, gloves and warm jackets. Daytime temperatures are pleasant and the skies are clear with bright sunshine – every day! The sun’s heat dominates once again as September approaches, the alluvial areas begin to dry out and the short, dry grass offers a clear and welcome view of the entire spectrum of wildlife here. Temperatures climb to their maximum in October as the whole parched region once again anticipates the coming rains. When huge clouds begin to gather on the horizon, you know it’s only a matter of time until the whole cycle begins again.
