Wilderness Tubu Tree | Okavango Delta
From its location on the western side of remote Hunda Island, Wilderness Tubu Tree has easy access to a diverse range of habitats. Day and night game drives explore productive mopane and acacia woodlands, with Wilderness Tubu Tree being well known for its leopard sightings. Wildlife movements vary with seasonal water levels, meaning that no two Tubu experiences are ever the same – but all are equally wonderful.
Eight guest tents (including one designed for families) offer breathtaking floodplain views from their elevated positions. In addition to the drama and excitement of game drives, seasonally-available water activities facilitate a different pace and perspective.
INSIDER'S TIP: At night a raised deck nearby is transformed into a Star Bed, creating a wondrous sleep-out in the wild under a blanket of stars.

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. There is no better way to experience the Okavango Delta waterways at eye-level.

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