The Details

Location

DumaTau lies in the Linyanti Wildlife Reserve in far northern Botswana, at the heart of the unfenced Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area. The camp is set between the Linyanti River floodplain and the Savuti Channel, on a stretch of waterfront favoured by elephants moving along ancient migratory routes.

The lush, water-rich environment supports one of Africa's largest elephant populations, along with buffalo herds and a healthy density of predators including lion and African wild dog.

Accommodation

Eight ultra-spacious tented suites are raised on wooden walkways only steps from where wildlife passes peacefully through camp. Each suite has a private plunge pool and interiors finished in hand-crafted mosaic tile, acacia wood and locally sourced textiles that reflect the character of the Linyanti. Family suites are available for guests travelling with children.

Dining

Meals are served in a variety of settings, from the Osprey Lagoon Deli, where chefs prepare seasonal, locally sourced menus and fresh smoothies and juices, to al fresco dining on the barge and sundowners overlooking the Linyanti lagoon. Evenings often end around the floating fire pit to the sound of hippos and owls.

Spa

The Osprey Retreat spa offers treatments overlooking the bush, and the camp also has a gym for guests who prefer to keep up their exercise routine. A sparkling pool looks out over the water.

Activities

Game viewing is exceptional on both land and water. Twice-daily game drives search out lion, wild dog and elephant, while boat cruises on the Kwando River, barge trips on the Linyanti and catch-and-release fishing open up the waterways. Birding is a highlight, and helicopter safaris over the Linyanti and Okavango can be arranged.
