TUBU TREE
Okavango Delta
Tubu Tree: Our ViewDue to the camps location, on the edge of a massive island, Tubu has an advantage over the other camps in the Jao Reserve in that it has easy access to a large island and therefore can easily offer long game drives. The other camps in Jao are surrounded by the Okavango’s flood water during the heavy flood months and therefore game drives are trickier to arrange. Tubu itself is stunning and with only 5 rooms it gives off a homely safari feel that many of the other camps lack. Overall Tubu Tree is one of our favorite camps in the Jao concession (which is saying a lot as the camp quality in this reserve is set very high) and one of the most unpretentious camps in the entire Delta. We love it and wish that other countries had lodges of this quality!! Tubu Tree gets a straight up 4 paws. It is competing with some amazing camps in the area and really hits a high standard.

Tubu Tree: The DetailWith fantastic views over the wide flood plains in front, this great little camp is superbly run, giving guests a really personal atmosphere to relax and unwind in. Each of the large tents are raised high on wooden structures and with enough room between each tent for a herd of elephant to pass through! The ensuite bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers offer privacy unmatched in the concession. The rooms are beautifully decorated with Ostrich eggs and dark mahogany furniture with a decking area in front of the camp for relaxing and watching large herds of red lechwe graze through the water. The main dining area, lounge and pool, all connected by wooden walkways look out over the floodplains but the focus is on the bar, sculptured out of the canopy of a large marula tree offering shade during the midday sun. The area is very game rich and having a completely separate airstrip to its neighbours, Jao, Kwetsani and Jacana makes the area even quieter. There is a long flood plain that carves the concession in half separating the camp and allowing them to congregate on the large dry areas of Tubu. It is great for leopard sightings and has a good variation in terrain.

Kwetsani is a magnificent camp, set high up in the trees on an island that looks over the Northern plains of the Jao flats. We really like this camp as it is extremely spacious, has stunning views and great balance between activities.

Little Vumbura is gorgeous little camp set on an island and well off the beaten track. This classic Wilderness Safaris camp is a favourite of ours and we have a big soft spot for using it over its big sister, Vumbura Plains. Little Vumbura only has 6 rooms whereas Vumbura Plains is made up of two, nine room camps.

Without any doubt one of Botswana’s most difficult lodges to actually get a room in, Savuti Camp is one of Africa’s finest small camps.
