Wilderness Little Tubu

Highlights

• A thrilling predator destination, look out for leopard, wild dog and hyena.
• Like its sister camp, Wilderness Tubu Tree, Little Tubu is tucked on Hunda Island with sweeping views over the game-rich floodplains dotted with water-loving wildlife on one side, and instant access to unrivalled wildlife viewing on the other.
• Enjoy a wonderful adventure in the wild – including sleeping under the stars in our luxury Star Bed.

Destination: Little Tubu, like its sister camp Tubu Tree, is situated in one of Africa's more fertile oases, and invites the ultimate, intimate bush experience for just six guests – ideal for families or small groups travelling together. 

Although the two camps are completely separate – each has its own main and dining areas – they are linked by a wooden walkway. Surrounded by lush forests and vast floodplains teeming with wildlife, Little Tubu is ready to introduce guests to exciting game drives and nature walks in the mopane and acacia woodlands. 

During winter (May to late September), boating, seasonal catch-and-release fishing and mokoro trips are also available in this Delta wonderland.

Experience: Renowned for its predator sightings, from exciting day and night game drives, look out for solitary leopards on the prowl, and wild dogs and hyenas.  On a traditional dugout canoe, or mokoro, explore the Delta channels here – alive with scores of brilliant birds, tiny reed frogs and mud-caked hippos. For those looking for an alternative to evenings by the fire, head to the elevated platform and experience wild Africa at night, and sleep beneath the stars in our Star Bed.

Purpose: As members of the Tubu Joint Management Committee, we are intimately involved in projects that support sustainable conservation and community projects. Our current focus is on the facilitation of a community-based cultural village tourism venture.

Wildlife: A wildlife wonderland, guests can look forward to remarkable sightings here on Hunda Island, the largest dryland area in this iconic wetland. Look out for elephant, Burchell’s zebra, red lechwe, southern giraffe, tsessebe and blue wildebeest in the floodplains. Kudu, impala, bushbuck, and leopard are usually seen in the forested areas. A beautiful variety of birdlife can also be seen. Dryland species can be spotted on the larger islands, and a multitude of wetland birds can be seen in the floodplains and waterways.

Wilderness Little Tubu: Elevated walkways link the tents to Little Tubu’s lounge and dining area, while the bar and pool areas integrate seamlessly with the environment to take full advantage of the alluring views over the floodplains. The camp is connected to sister camp Wilderness Tubu Tree by elevated boardwalks.

A bush experience like few others awaits all who visit this charming Okavango safari camp. The three eco-chic, luxury tents are perched on raised platforms, offering an exceptional stay for families and small groups. Seemingly floating in the tree canopy, the camp looks out over a seasonal riverbed which ebbs and flows with the passage of a variety of wildlife.
