Duma Tau Camp (meaning “roar of the lion”) is a tented camp located in the private 126 000-hectare Linyanti Wildlife Reserve which borders the western boundary of Chobe National Park in northern Botswana. Duma Tau is built on raised boardwalks under a shady grove of mangosteen trees, overlooking a large lagoon on the Linyanti waterways.
The seven suites and one family suite camp are spacious, built on elevated wooden decks with canvas walls, allowing guests to enjoy the night sounds of Africa from the comfort of their rooms. Each tented room, elegantly decorated in earthy colours, has an en-suite bathroom, lounge area and deck with a private plunge pool and seating area.
The tastefully decorated main area houses wide-angle vistas that overlook the wildlife-rich lagoon, a dining and bar area, library, lounge, and fire pit area which extends out over the lagoon. There is also a central wellness centre and gym, which is shared with Little Duma Tau and includes an inviting shaded deck, a lap pool, massage spa, a drinks and snack counter, and Safari Boutique shop.
The region has all the habitat diversity to make it a haven for wildlife, and is well known for its elephant concentrations as they congregate along the waterways and lagoons during the dry winter months. Day and night game viewing are conducted in open 4x4 vehicles along the Savuti Channels and the banks of the Linyanti River. It is also possible to enjoy guided walks (on request). Water activities such as boating, seasonal catch and release fishing and sundowners on a barge are on offer when available and water levels permit when the Linyanti River is in full flood.
There are many hides in the area where guests can enjoy wildlife viewing close and away from a vehicle. One of the best hides is right at the source of the Savuti and many species of game and birdlife can usually be seen.
At an additional cost, guests can book treatments at the wellness centre and helicopter scenic flights.
Airstrip Transfer Time: 40 minutes
Please note that between April and October the sand gets very thick and the transfer can take a bit longer.
