Rebuilt in June 2024, Little Tubu is an ultra-intimate safari camp set on Hunda Island within the Jao Reserve. Sharing the island with its sister property, Tubu Tree, the camp enjoys access to the largest dry-land area in the concession, renowned for strong predator activity and diverse year-round game viewing.
With just three elevated tented suites accommodating a maximum of six guests, Little Tubu offers exceptional privacy and a highly personalised safari experience. The camp is ideally suited to families or small groups seeking exclusive use, while raised walkways connect it seamlessly to Tubu Tree, allowing larger parties to combine both camps with identical room standards across the properties.
Guests enjoy day and night game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, exploring productive mopane and acacia woodlands. During high water months (typically May to September), boating, seasonal fishing and mokoro excursions provide an additional Delta perspective.
INSIDER’S TIP: Little Tubu offers a secluded, exclusive-use feel while still benefiting from the broader wildlife access of Hunda Island.
Standard Twin/Double Tent(s)
Rebuilt in June 2024, Little Tubu’s three elevated tented suites are set beneath a canopy of riverine trees on Hunda Island, offering an intimate and contemporary safari retreat. Raised on wooden platforms and connected by winding walkways, the suites blend classic safari design with refined modern finishes.
Each spacious en-suite tent features floor-to-ceiling openings that maximise natural light and frame expansive views across the surrounding floodplains and woodlands. A private viewing deck provides an ideal vantage point for observing wildlife, while the outdoor shower enhances the sense of immersion in the Delta.
Elevated walkways link the suites to the camp’s intimate main area, including the lounge, dining space, pool and bar, creating seamless flow while maintaining privacy and a strong connection to the surrounding wilderness.

Morning and afternoon game drives reveal the spectacular wildlife that can be seen in the area. These are offered in open 4x4 vehicles each accommodating a maximum of seven people allowing each guest a "window" seat.
Night drives with spotlights allow you to find those nocturnal animals you wouldn’t see during normal daytime drives. Porcupine, aardwolf, serval, large spotted genet and lesser bushbaby are just some of these.
Walking in the wilderness is a wonderful way of being even closer to nature, observing the smaller creatures and flora you miss when travelling by vehicle. Our expert guides welcome the opportunity to share their bushlore adventures ...
* Seasonal and subject to the availability of a qualified walking guide.
Experience the Okavango Delta waterways at eye-level, gliding along in a traditional mokoro (dugout canoe) which has been used by generations for transport in the region where there are many more serene channels than roads. This excursion is perfect for spotting tiny reed frogs or larger pods of hippos in the deeper water.
* Water levels permitting.
Discover by boat and search for water-loving wildlife further afield. Good game viewing in the channels further away from camp often yield fabulous sightings of hippos and crocodiles, and maybe even the rare 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 mix of habitat ensures a variety of birdlife to be seen, from flocks of endangered wattled crane and glimpses of the rare lesser jacana on the eastern side, to Meyer’s parrots and Dickinson’s kestrel in the west.
At night an elevated deck, located near camp, is transformed into a star bed offering a wondrous sleep-out experience under a blanket of stars and from which to enjoy the passing game.
