Founded as a smaller extension of the original Vundu Camp, Little Vundu Camp places strong emphasis on guiding, with a team widely recognized for in-depth tracking and a unique rapport with elephants. Nick Murray’s familiarity with individual herds adds a distinctive layer to each excursion, offering insights into family groups, feeding habits, and shifting migratory patterns. Camp construction uses materials that minimize permanent impact, ensuring essential comforts without excessive structural footprints. Meals center on fresh, regionally sourced ingredients prepared in a straightforward style, reflecting a commitment to quality rather than elaborate presentation.
Daily life at the camp often includes extended sessions near the Zambezi River, where visitors see elephants move through the floodplains with relative ease. Guides explain the interconnected cycles of water, vegetation, and wildlife, shedding light on how the changing seasons affect animal behavior. Evenings may feature fireside discussions, recounting memorable sightings or delving into the day’s discoveries. Many guests remark on the sense of familiarity that develops over repeated viewing of the same elephant families, reinforcing the camp’s reputation for a guiding approach shaped by personal engagement and long observation.
