Tubu Tree is built into the trees, with elevated wooden walkways connecting eight traditional-style tents on raised platforms, each with a private deck providing sensational views over the floodplains. Each tented room has an en-suite bathroom and an outdoor shower; the family unit consists of two adjoining tents with separate bathrooms and a shared lounge. The camp’s main dining and lounge areas, as well as its pool, are raised to maximise the vistas, and an open bar area is shaded by a large marula tree. A stunning hide near camp is transformed into a Star Bed at night, creating a unique sleep-out in the wild.

Tubu Tree is set on Hunda Island in the Okavango Delta’s Jao Reserve, offering spectacular game viewing on land and water – a complete Delta adventure.

Night Drives

A one-of-a-kind safari experience awaits after dark where we go in search of the fascinating creatures of the night.

Mokoro Excursions

There is no better way to enjoy the crystal-clear waters of the Delta and its wildlife than by traditional mokoro (dugout canoe).

Cast a Line

Seasonal fishing with a limited supply of basic equipment (spinner rods and a small range of lures) is available on a catch-and-release basis.

Go Boating

Boating is another way to view wildlife from the water, and can yield sightings of hippo and crocodile and perhaps even sitatunga.

Explore the island for elephant, buffalo, lion, and leopard (the resident female recently created a den for her cub in a Tubu Tree bathroom for safekeeping), as well as African wild dog, spotted hyaena, a vast variety of plains game, giraffe, Burchell’s zebra and countless other creatures. Listen for the spine-tingling cry of the fish-eagle and hundreds of other birds, both dry-land and wetland species. Relax as your mokoro drifts past water lilies and reed frogs, or a boating excursion brings hippos, crocs, or even rare sitatungas into view. Try your hand at catch-and-release fishing, or take to the skies by helicopter, soaring above the Okavango Delta’s expanse. By day, watch the wildlife parade from an elevated hide, where you can sleep under the stars at night.
