Duma Tau

DumaTau means 'roar of the lion', yet it is it's high concentrations of elephant and outstanding wildlife in general for which it is renowned. Located close to the source of the Savute Channel, in the vast Linyanti Concession in northern Botswana, waterways around DumaTau Camp lure a plethora of wildlife - particularly in the dry winter months.

The 10 luxury tented rooms are spacious, raised off the ground and under thatch with canvas walls, allowing guests to enjoy the night sounds of Africa from the comfort of their rooms.  For the ultimate safari experience, spend a night in the luxurious sleep out deck over looking the Zibadianja Lagoon and fall asleep listening to the sounds of the bush come alive around you.  Raised up on a wooden deck, the sleep out area is fully equipped with an en suite bathroom, sundowner deck and camp fire.

The region has all the habitat diversity to make it a haven for wildlife, and is well-known for its elephant concentrations as they congregate along the waterways and lagoons during the dry winter months. General wildlife viewing is excellent year round including impala, wildebeest, red lechwe, Burchell's zebra, giraffe, Cape buffalo, chacma baboon, vervet monkey, and warthog. Predator sightings of lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog and spotted hyaena are good.

Wildlife viewing is the primary activity at DumaTau Camp, either on day and night game drives or while on foot and on the water (levels permitting). Short nature walks can be taken along the Linyanti River and Savute Channel, while the camp's boat takes visitors along the waters of the Linyanti, with hippo and waterfowl alike to entrance. There are also a number of platforms and hides from which to view and photograph animals and birds. One of the best hides is right at the source of the Savute and many species of game and birdlife can usually be seen from this hide.

Duma Tau has ten luxurious tented rooms, (eight tents, one family unit, one honeymoon tent). The tents are spacious, under thatch with canvas walls, en-suite bathroom facilities and an outside shower. Guests can enjoy the night sounds of Africa from the comfort of their rooms, and shower under the stars!

There is a minimum age of 8 years in camp and babysitting/listening can be arranged for those that need it.

The camp has a conveniently positioned plunge pool in which to cool off there are is also a viewing hide to watch game from in camp. There is a dining room, pub, lounge and a special guest bathroom with a fantastic view.
