Duma Tau Camp - located in northern Botswana in the Linyanti area - features a modern, chic design in light and natural colours. The view of the large open expanse of water of the Osprey Lagoon is incredibly beautiful and unique in Botswana.

Wooden walkways lead to the eight beautiful and ultra spacious rooms (142m²), each with en-suite bathroom, indoor and outdoor shower, lounge and private veranda with plunge pool and views of hippos and elephants wading in the water. One of the rooms is a family room with two separate en-suite bedrooms connected by a shared lounge and a very large deck with its own splash pool.

The main area provides space for the restaurant, an airy lounge with bar and a large deck with fire pit. All of it facing the wildlife-rich Osprey Lagoon which is connected to the Linyanti via winding waterways. Flatboats and the barge are moored in front of the main building ready for excursions on the water. A long jetty leads out onto the water to a platform with a fire pit, a favourite amongst guests for having their evening drinks.

Little Duma Tau is Duma Tau‘s sister camp. The two camps are right next to each other and connected by elevated walkways. Osprey Retreat is built in between the two camps offering a spa, gym, curio shop, snack deli and a large swimming pool. This area is shared by both camps. Little Duma Tau Camp however has its own main building with pool and fire pit and, with only four rooms, is suitable for guests seeking a slightly more intimate experience.

Duma Tau is the perfect base from which to discover the Linyanti region. It lies north of the Okavango Delta overlooking the Osprey Lagoon and is located close to the confluence of the Linyanti and Kwando rivers, the Zibadianja Lagoon and the Savuti Channel. The camp is surrounded by mixed forest and is perfect for wildlife photography by morning or evening light.

Duma Tau Camp is only accessible by light aircraft. The camp is approx. 40 minutes drive from Chobe Airstrip. Flight time to Maun in a Cessna Caravan is 50 minutes, and 45 minutes to Kasane.

Duma Tau Camp is part of the private Linyanti Concession (1,200 km²). There are four camps in this concession: Duma Tau Camp, Little Duma Tau, Savuti Camp and Kings Pool Camp.

There is generally a large variety of wildlife to be seen, including impala, wildebeest, giraffe, buffalo, the rare roan antelope and, during the dry winter months from July to October, a countless number of elephant that roam to the Linyanti River from the mopane forests in the hinterland.

Cheetah, leopard, lion, and hyena can often be encountered and, with a bit of luck, you may also spot the endangered wild dogs.

Game drives in open 4x4 vehicles and night drives. Boat trips on the Linyanti River offer a welcome change and take you as far as the Zibadianja Lagoon.

Duma Tau is using a tastefully furnished barge for sundowner trips or lunches on the Linyanti. Crocodiles, hippo and elephants crossing the Linyanti are often seen on such excursions.

Because the camp is located in a private concession, night driving with a searchlight and off-road driving for special animal observation is allowed. Close-up shots are guaranteed.
