Situated on a large forested sand dune and one of the
very few high points along the Okavango River, Shamvura
Camp offers
spectacular views over the river and surrounding flood plains. The Treetop
cottage affords the visitor
a birds-eye view of one of the last
remnants of natural riverine forest comprising mainly of "Knobthorn
Acacia"
(Acacia nigrescens).
The surrounding flood plains
comprise of Phragmites mauritianus reeds and patches of papyrus, and are
vital
breeding areas for almost 90 species of fish and a habitat for
over 60 species of wetland birds.
Shamvura Camp is strategically
located ±110km east of Rundu, just off the main B8 tar road to Katima
Mulilo.
The location is convenient for easy access to the Kaudom Game
Reserve (±65km), the Mahango Game Park
(±100km) and onward via the
Mohembo Gate into neighbouring Botswana.
Shamvura Camp has an
elevated location, overlooking the Okavango/cuito floodplain and does not
flood during
the rainy season making it easily accessible all year
round. From here we offer you outstanding freshwater fishing,
game-viewing, nature walks, cultural activities, microlight flights
and a once-in-a-lifetime birding opportunity.
Malaria is present in
the area, and visitors are advised to take the necessary precautions.
