Wilderness Little Tubu shares Hunda Island with its larger sister camp, and also benefits from being in a dry-land location surrounded by seasonally-inundated floodplains. Wilderness Little Tubu offers an intimate safari experience, combining the luxury of seclusion and privacy with access to some of the best game viewing in the Okavango.
The three luxury guest tents that make up Wilderness Little Tubu peep out from under the shade of a grove of riverine trees. Sightings of wildlife from the camp inspire excursions to productive woodlands in open 4x4 vehicles, with seasonal water-based activities also an option.
INSIDER'S TIP: Located near the camp, an elevated deck is transformed at night into a star bed that offers a thrilling wilderness immersion.
Luxurious, stylish and tucked under a lush canopy of trees, the traditionally styled tents of Wilderness Little Tubu, on elevated wooden platforms are connected by a series of winding, wooden walkways.
Each eco-chic, en-suite tent has floor-to-ceiling windows, a private viewing deck offering exceptional views overlooking the endless floodplain and an outdoor shower. Elevated walkways link the tents to the comfortable living area, main dining area, pool and bar.

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.
