Vuna is a tribe from Survivor South Africa: Immunity Island. Their tribe color is orange.
Vuna prospered in each of its iterations from its numerous challenge wins, but their first Tribal Council led to permanent divisions within the tribe. A tribe switch gave one side a chance to take revenge, sending their own home. Despite this, the remaining members stayed united at the merge, decimating the original Zambas until the past bad blood prompted the two separate Vuna factions to cannibalize each other, with the fracture ultimately portending the tribe's self-destruction.

| Notes: ^1 The tribes raced to collect supplies. During the challenge, the castaways were also given the chance to claim their tribe's individual Immunity Necklace. The person that took the necklace would be safe at their first Tribal Council. However, no one claimed Vuna's necklace.
^2 This Reward Challenge saw an individual of each tribe battle for a reward item. The winner of each battle kept the reward for their tribe. ^3 Due to medical reasons, Shaun from Zamba had to sit out of the challenge, so Vuna had to sit out an additional member. ^4 The castaways individually decided whether to play for reward or immunity. The last person standing for their respective match wins what they chose to play for. Additionally, the last person standing in the reward match wins reward for their tribe, as well as a bigger reward for themselves. ^5 A Hidden Immunity Idol was played, negating all votes against its user. | |||||||

- The side pattern used on Vuna's buff is called Dame Dame, an Adinkra symbol from Ghana.
- Vuna is the first orange starting tribe in Survivor South Africa.
