About Wilderness Tubu Tree Camp
Wilderness Tubu Tree Camp is an intimate safari camp set on Hunda Island in the Okavango Delta’s Jao Concession, an area known for its rich combination of floodplains, dry savannah, and diverse wildlife. Elevated on wooden platforms, the camp provides stunning views over the floodplains and waterways, while allowing guests to feel immersed in the heart of the wilderness. It offers a blend of luxury, seclusion, and authentic safari charm, making it well suited for both seasoned travelers and those experiencing Botswana for the first time. The surrounding habitat supports a variety of wildlife year round, with excellent chances to see predators, elephants, and plains game, as well as abundant birdlife.
ACCESS & LOCATION of Wilderness Tubu Tree Camp
Wilderness Tubu Tree Camp is located in the western Okavango Delta on Hunda Island. The most convenient way to access the camp is by light aircraft to Tubu Airstrip. The flight from Maun takes approximately 45 minutes, and from Kasane about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Upon arrival, guests are transferred by vehicle in around 5 to 10 minutes to the camp. Due to seasonal flooding and its island location, access by road from outside the concession is not practical.
ACCOMMODATION & FACILITIES AT Wilderness Tubu Tree Camp
The camp has eight traditional style canvas tents raised on wooden decks, each with an en-suite bathroom, indoor and outdoor showers, and a private veranda with sweeping views of the surrounding plains. The interiors combine natural materials with comfortable furnishings, including large beds with mosquito netting and cozy seating areas. Elevated walkways connect the tents to the main area, which features a spacious lounge, dining room, bar, and viewing deck. There is also a small swimming pool for cooling off between activities. Meals are freshly prepared and often served outdoors to make the most of the views. The camp is solar powered and operates with a strong focus on sustainability and minimizing environmental impact.
