Slaty Egret Safari: Summary
Slaty Egret Safari in a nutshell
This safari offers exploration of two of the Okavango Delta’s best game-viewing regions, with stays within Chitabe concession and the private Vumbura reserve.
Beginning at Chitabe, the camp boasts spectacular views over the surrounding floodplains and is within easy reach of the neighbouring collage of mopane forests and shady glades. Chitabe concession is borderd on three sides by Moremi Game Reserve, and game drives at Chitabe camp therefore welcome consistently varied and exciting game: numerous leopards are known to thrive in the area and wild dog sightings can be particularly impressive.
Built on its own private island, Little Vumbura then feels within a world of its own, surrounded by both permanent deep water channels and seasonal floodplains. From here, boating trips and mokoro excursions are available to explore the water’s surrounding flora and birdlife, whilst game drives offer ample opportunity to seek exciting game amongst the open plains, woodlands and riverine forests.
Being small, intimate camps, both Chitabe and Little Vumbura offer a considerable degree of exclusivity and a wonderfully personalised safari experience. Although styled differently, they boast the same high quality of design, with attentive management and excellent guiding enabling the safari experience to feel tailored and highly special.
