Roughing it at Little Vumbura

After our camera fiasco, we reached the camp and were greeted with welcome drinks to soothe away the worries. Then we were taken to our fabulous honeymoon suite. It was the last of six tented rooms down a long deck pathway. Totally secluded and with a great private deck area, Chase and I were in heaven.

Here's the entrance.

The room had mosquito netting everywhere from the windows to the bed. Luckily, we weren't really bothered by them. But it was fun to sleep with the netting surrounding us. Felt like we were really out in nature, but not really.

A little celebratory champagne on our private deck looking out on to the reserve. We would hear animals especially in the early morning hours. We had a hippo visit us every morning chomping down on grub under our tent. Other times, as we were walking back from dinner or something, we would spot kudu, lizards, and various birds. In fact, we had to be escorted back and forth, for our safety, by the staff.

The lounge area with bathroom, writing desk, and reading nook.

The deck led out to a private outdoor bath that also looked out on to the park. Totally romantic.


Alright, so more to come soon on what we actually did and saw while at the Delta.
