Wilderness has unveiled the transformed Tubu Tree and Little Tubu camps, situated in the Okavango Delta’s Hunda Island in Botswana’s wildlife-rich Jao Reserve. These camps have been renovated to offer guests an enhanced, intimate bush experience in Africa.
Offering eight tented suites and a family unit, all with views of the floodplains, Tubu Tree now sports upgraded amenities, including the replacement of canvas walls with insulated panels and new saligna hardwood flooring for improved insulation. The camp’s bar offers panoramic views and an ideal setting for sundowners.
Connected to its sister camp by elevated boardwalks, Little Tubu offers a more intimate, three-tented retreat. Ideal for families and small groups, this retreat offers expansive suites complete with private decks and outdoor showers.
Perched in a grove of jackalberry and marula trees, and shaded by fan palms, both Tubu Tree and Little Tubu offer vistas of floodplains teeming with wildlife. Guests can enjoy game-viewing during the day or explore the Okavango Delta’s labyrinth of waterways by mokoro, boat or vehicle. At night, adventure-seekers can sleep in a Star Bed to marvel at the night sky or in one of the newly renovated suites.
Both camps operate solely using solar power and repurposed furniture has been used to enrich staff areas, extending their lifecycle within the camp. Recycled building materials from the construction have been donated to the Tubu Village Development Committee. In addition, both camps actively engage in local conservation initiatives and community support programs, including partnerships with nearby schools.
