Wilderness Savuti | Linyanti Concession

Wilderness Savuti is situated in the private Linyanti Wildlife Reserve along the Savuti Channel, famous as a sporadic and unusual watercourse. As part of a natural cycle, the waters of the Savuti either flow strongly – a magnet for thirsty wildlife – or recede to leave behind a rich grassland.

Wilderness Savuti provides front-row seats to amazing wildlife viewing perched high on the banks of the channel. The camp looks down on a miraculous ribbon of territory where both plains game and predators thrive, and exploring the length of this channel and its associated woodlands is thus a highlight here.

The intimate camp's en-suite accommodation is in six canvas-and-thatch tents (including a family unit). From the camp's thatched dining area, elevated wooden decks extend out over the channel bed, with a small pool, fire deck and wonderful views over the channel.

INSIDER'S TIP: The Savuti Star Bed with a sublime location overlooking the Savuti Channel and facing Zibadianja Lagoon to the west. Intimate encounters with iconic wildlife parading in the channel, as the Milky Way dances across an inky African sky. It is the perfect spot to end a magical day on safari, as the calls of the wild soothe you to sleep.

Tubu Tree Camp | Okavango Delta

Rebuilt in June 2024, Tubu Tree Camp is located on the western edge of Hunda Island in the Jao Reserve — the largest dry-land area within the concession. Surrounded by a mosaic of mopane woodland, acacia forest and seasonal floodplains, the camp offers exceptional year-round game viewing, particularly renowned for leopard, lion, wild dog and large herds of elephant and buffalo.

Guests enjoy both day and night game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, with wildlife movements influenced by seasonal water levels, ensuring every stay offers a dynamic and varied safari experience. During high water months (typically May to September), boating, seasonal fishing and mokoro excursions provide an additional water-based perspective of the Delta.

The camp features eight elevated tented suites, including a spacious family unit with two adjoining tents and a shared lounge, all offering expansive floodplain views. Tubu Tree is connected to Little Tubu via raised wooden walkways, allowing larger groups to combine both camps seamlessly.

INSIDER’S TIP: The raised Star Bed sleep-out offers an unforgettable night under the African sky in true predator country.
