Tumani Tented Camp
Where three delta river channels converge lies Tumani Tented Camp - opening June 2026. A private property within an extension of the Chobe National Park, this new camp offers front-row access to incredible wildlife areas and a star bed safari experience as part of the accommodation. Accessible by road and soon to have a neighbouring airstrip (for opening in June 2026), the camp is 1.5 hours drive from its sister property MmaTsebe Tented Camp.
The camp is deliberately intimate: eight tented rooms on deck with an exterior staircase off the veranda leading up to a private star-deck. At Tumani, sleeping under the stars isn’t a special activity, it’s a built-in feature available to every guest.
At the heart of the camp lies a sprawling main area under thatch, with multiple lounge pockets, interior and al fresco dining offering either privacy or conviviality, and complete with a pool sporting uninterrupted views across the river.
Like its sister property, MmaTsebe, this owner-run camp will carry a strong sense of character, with personalised touches woven into every detail. Inspired by the starry skies and the stillness of Mababe in the summer heat, the design draws on cool, calming tones offset by standout antique pieces that add depth and individuality. Both the main areas and guest rooms will reflect this balance - a blend of understated elegance and our distinctive style.
This combination of privacy, positioning, and an accessible rate sets the camp apart, offering guests a camp that feels both exciting and excellent value - a secluded camp in one of Botswana’s most productive yet uncrowded wildlife areas.
During the dry season, guests can experience sleeping under the stars as part of the experience at Tumani. Simply walk up the stairs off your private veranda and lean into the wild night surrounding you. Ideal time to visit Tumani to get the most out of our star beds is April - October. Tumani offers a comfortable stay in a stunning riverside setting, diverse game drives through Mababe and the Chobe National Park and accessibility for both self-drive and fly-in guests.
We highly recommend combining Tumani Tented Camp with MmaTsebe - just an 1.5 hour road transfer between the camps allows guests to experience four fantastic wildlife areas: Mababe, Chobe National Park, Moremi Game Reserve and Khwai.
Tumani follows the ethos of The Okavango Collection; Keeping it grounded - a product that delivers on the classic requirements of a fantastic safari: Top notch guiding and game viewing, comfortable tents, delicious homely dishes and personable hospitality.
