Shamvura Camp was established in 2001 on an ancient sand dune historically used with limited success for Mahango cultivation. All the infrastructure and woodland regrowth visible today have been developed by the Shamvura team since 1999 when they built up the existing facilities and road system.
The small Shamvura team is committed to providing personalised attention to guests at all times. The facilities offer privacy and cater for small, self-sufficient parties who are interested in a quality experience. We will adapt and customize our services, whenever possible, to suit your needs and include catering on special request for small groups.
Mark Paxton, the owner of Shamvura, takes a personal interest in guests' comfort and enjoyment of the area.
A Namibian citizen, Mark is a qualified game ranger and has over 40 years of comprehensive experience and knowledge of environmental issues. He is a well known naturalist with a wide and varied interest in fauna and flora, with familiarity about the diversity of natural habitats throughout Namibia. He has lived in the Kavango Region for 12 years and has been involved with community development projects and environmental-related issues for all of that time.
His wife, Charlie, has also been actively involved in community based craft development in both Kavango and Caprivi Regions involving more than a thousand craft producers. She is currently the craft consultant for 'Every River Has Its People' project which is a transboundary community development project involving the Okavango River Basin.
