Tubu Tree Camp
Okavango Delta
Accommodation
Tubu Tree Camp is a classic safari camp. It comprises nine tents raised on stilts with unrivalled vistas over a broad seasonal floodplain. The stylishly furnished rooms are constructed beneath shade-giving trees.
All rooms have king-size beds (or twins), a lounge, a bathroom with indoor and outdoor shower and a delightful deck to relax and read on. The rooms are connected to the main area via raised walkways. One of the rooms is a family room that has two adjoining tents, each with its own bathroom and a common lounge in the middle.
The main building consists of a lounge with a bar and a dining tent. A staircase leads to the upper floor, where further sofas invite you to read and relax. Guests like to meet for a pre-dinner drink at the fire pit in front. A little further down is a plunge pool with sun loungers.
Location
Tubu Tree Camp is situated in the western Okavango Delta on a large peninsula (Hunda Island) that ensures great year-round game drives. The plain in front of the camp usually fills with water during the floods, turning into a lagoon brimming with antelope and birdlife from April until September. The region is one of the most beautiful and diverse in the whole Okavango Delta, and the romantic palm islands create a real Caribbean feeling.
Tubu Tree Camp is only accessible by light aircraft. Hunda Airstrip is located approximately 15 minutes from the camp. Flight time to Maun in a Cessna Caravan is 35 minutes, and 1 hour 20 minutes to Kasane.
Tubu Tree Camp is part of the private Jao Concession (630 km²). Pelo Camp, Jacana Camp, Kwetsani Camp and the premier Jao Camp all belong to this concession.
Wildlife
Hunda Island is home to a wide variety of wildlife and bird life. Elephant, buffalo, hippo and crocodile may be encountered. There is a good number of zebra, wildebeest, kudu and red lechwe (during floods), followed by lion, leopard, hyena and often even cheetah and wild dog.
Tubu Tree Camp has an impressive concentration of leopard and the chances of seeing this shy cat here are excellent.
Activities
Game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, night drives, fishing (catch & release). Boat and mokoro trips are available during the flood season. Mokoro trips begin directly in front of the camp when waters are high.
As 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.
