About the lodge
An overview of Tubu Tree Camp.
Tubu Tree Camp is located on Hunda Island, within the exclusive Jao Concession of the famous Okavango Delta.

The island is particularly renowned for its high concentration of game and remarkable leopard sightings.

The Detail
Beneath a canopy of trees, on the edge of pristine floodplains bustling with water-loving creatures, lies an Okavango island that surpasses imagination. Every moment in this natural paradise hints at adventure and discovery, with the chance to encounter resident leopards, wild dogs, or perhaps even the elusive Pel’s fishing owl.
Accommodation
Wilderness Tubu Tree is a visual delight, featuring what may be Africa’s finest small bar overlooking the verdant floodplains, along with elegant tents and a family unit nestled among the trees. The spacious tents are connected to the lounge areas by elevated wooden walkways. This intimate retreat, with just eight suites including a family unit, is perfect for a safari with close friends and family.
Cuisine
Dining at Tubu Tree is a culinary journey designed to make guests feel truly pampered. Here, you'll explore local ingredients and discover the unique character of the area.

Accommodation
No dedicated family unit.
Child rates
Children 6–15 years sharing a Suite/Room with an adult pay 50% of the adult rate. 16+ charged adult rates and accommodated in a separate room/tent. Wilderness Botswana standard policy alternative: infants 0–2 FOC; 3–16 years 65% off off-peak / 35% off peak when sharing with adults in family rooms. JCCT CSR levy USD 50 per person per night applies from age 6.
Notable exceptions
- Little Tubu is a Premier camp: families with children 12 years and younger are required to book and pay for private activities for the full duration of their stay, unless the camp is booked on exclusive use or they have filled a vehicle (6 guests). Children 13–16 years do not require a private vehicle. Mokoro excursions and guided walks are available from 13 years and older. The Bush Buddy programme (complimentary; specially trained staff paired with children) is offered for ages 6–12. An "Exclusive Use Offer – Book all 3 Suites & Save 20%" is available for families/groups wanting sole use; no dedicated family suite at Little Tubu itself, though sister camp Tubu Tree has a Family Suite. Note source conflict: Jao Collection 2026 rate sheet sets minimum age 6 with 50% child rate (6–15), while the Wilderness Botswana B6 rate sheet applies the standard child policy (0–2 FOC, 3–16 at 65%/35%); the lodge-specific Jao RACK sheet takes precedence.
