Wilderness Linyanti Tented Camp – Game Drives Wilderness Linyanti Tented Camp – Night Drives Wilderness Linyanti Tented Camp – Guided Nature Walks * Wilderness Linyanti Tented Camp – Log-Pile Hide

Morning and afternoon game drives offer the chance to witness compelling interactions being played out in the wild. Wildlife includes the rare roan and sable antelope, while plains game are prevalent and of course their predators, including lions, leopards and hyaenas – with the endangered African wild dog as an incredible bonus. Excellent birding.

Explore after dark with spotlights allowing you to find some of the less familiar species which are not active during the day. Perhaps lesser bushbabies, large spotted genets, aardwolf or serval.

Learn about tracks and signs, fruits and roots on a guided walking safari. A bush walk is a wonderful way of being close to nature, and gaining insights on the smaller fauna and local flora

* Weather permitting and subject to the availability of a qualified walking guide.

The log-pile hide, a short drive from camp, lets you watch the wildlife "rush hour" – especially in the dry season when large numbers of elephant move through the area.

Includes: meals, local drinks, activities, laundry & return airstrip transfers
Excludes: premium drinks
Activities: mokoro excursions, boating (subject to water level) & walking (subject to guide availability) & game drives when water level permits.

Pelo means heart - a fitting name as from the air this island is heart shaped and it is situated as deep into the heart of the delta as is possible. The camp is completely eco-friendly and is ideal for the adventurous traveller wanting a classic, traditional Okavango Delta experience.

The camp’s main area consists of a dining area, lounge and bar with an extended deck overlooking the floodplains beyond. Small and intimate, the five spacious guest tents have en-suite bathrooms, indoor and outdoor shower and private decks with views out onto the delta.

As the camp is located on a small island surrounded by permanent water, activities focus on mokoro (traditional canoe) excursions, walking (please request in advance to ensure a walking guide is allocated to you) and boating (subject to water levels).

Pelo Camp is set in one of the best areas to see the rare sitatunga and red lechwe antelopes. Wildlife concentrations in this part of the Okavango Delta depend on the water flow and change from season to season. Birdlife is abundant; enthusiasts have a chance of spotting Pel's fishing-owl as well as African and lesser jacanas and a host of other Okavango specials such as slaty egret, African pygmy-goose and western banded snake-eagle.

Transfer time: Vehicle/Boat 45 - 70 Minutes (Water level dependant)

Take a walk on one of a number of low sandy islands and learn about the sustainable way of life of the River Bushman people in this area.

Fishing with a limited supply of basic equipment (spinner rods and a small range of lures) is on offer seasonally on a catch and release basis.

* Note that fishing is seasonal as it is prohibited By Botswana law in January and February due to breeding purposes.

Tubu Tree Camp is situated on the western side of the Jao Concession, a private area bordering Moremi Game Reserve covering an area of 60,000 hectares, in Botswana's Okavango Delta. This camp is built on the western side of a large island called Hunda that has diverse vegetation ranging from dry Kalahari sandveld, through to mopane woodland and riverine forest on the edge of the permanent waterways and floodplains of the Delta.

The camp consists of eight luxurious safari tents built on wooden platforms.Including one family tent, one honeymoon tent and six twins. Each tent has en-suite facilities and an additional outdoor shower for under the stars showering. A dining room, bar and lounge area are linked by raised walkways which provide superb views across the floodplains. The camp also offers a small swimming pool for a refreshing respite from the heat of the day.

Tubu Tree Camp offers both land and water activities, the focus of which depends on the fluctuating levels of the Okavango's floodwater. Game drives are offered throughout the year and led by experienced guides in open sided 4x4 vehicles. These drives are conducted both day and night. When the annual flood arrives (May – late September), boating, fishing and mokoro trips are available. A variety of wildlife can be viewed in this area, including elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog, giraffe, zebra, reedbuck and impala.

Wilderness Tubu Tree – Game Drives Wilderness Tubu Tree – Night Drives Wilderness Tubu Tree – Mokoro Excursions * Wilderness Tubu Tree – Boating * Wilderness Tubu Tree – Fishing * Wilderness Tubu Tree – Birding Wilderness Tubu Tree – Hide & Star Bed

Morning and afternoon game drives on Hunda Island reveal the spectacular wildlife here where leopard and other big game often feature.

A one-of-a-kind safari experience awaits after dark where we go in search of the extraordinary creatures of the night. Porcupine, aardwolf, serval, large spotted genet and lesser bushbaby are just some of these.

There is no better way of enjoying the crystal-clear waters of the Delta and its wildlife than by traditional mokoro (dugout canoe), which reveal the smaller fascinating critters and striking waterbirds of the region.

* Water levels permitting.

Water-level dependent, excursions in our boat allow for good game viewing in the channels further away from camp, often yielding fabulous sightings of hippo and crocodile and maybe even the elusive sitatunga.

* Water levels permitting.

Fishing with a limited supply of basic equipment is on offer seasonally on a catch and release basis.

* Note that fishing is seasonal as it is prohibited by Botswana law in January and February due to breeding purposes.

The Jao Reserve is a must for bird enthusiasts, with large concentrations of wattled crane, as well as slaty egret, rosy-throated longclaw and African skimmer. In contrast, the dryer Hunda Island sports crimson-breasted shrike and Meyer’s parrot.

There are two hides in the area, one of which is located approximately twenty minutes from camp. This hide can be beautifully transformed into a wonderful star bed that offers a unique wilderness experience under the star studded African sky.
