TUBU TREE CAMP

The camp itself embraces a classic safari aesthetic, with a warm, traditional feel that many travellers associate with the Okavango of old. Built into a canopy of trees and raised on wooden platforms, it has a slightly whimsical, treehouse-like character, with walkways linking the main areas and guest tents. The central spaces—lounge, dining area and bar—open out onto expansive views of the floodplains, often alive with antelope and birdlife. Guests frequently comment on the atmosphere as being “unpretentious” and relaxed, with a genuine sense of being in nature rather than removed from it.

The rooms continue this classic tented safari style, with just a handful of spacious suites elevated above the ground for both views and privacy. Each tent is built with canvas and wood, featuring polished floors, en-suite bathrooms and outdoor showers that bring you closer to the surrounding wilderness. Private decks look out over the floodplains, where wildlife often passes by within sight of your room. There is a simplicity to the design that guests appreciate—comfortable and stylish, but never overdone.

Facilities are thoughtfully designed around the landscape, the main deck and pool area are ideally positioned for wildlife viewing, while the open-air bar under a large marula tree becomes a natural gathering point in the evenings. Dining is relaxed and sociable, often shared around a central table or under the stars, and there is even a sleep-out platform experience—allowing guests to spend a night beneath the open African sky. Feedback often highlights the welcoming atmosphere, with many noting that it feels more like a home in the bush than a formal lodge.

Thanks to its position on Hunda Island, game drives are possible year-round, which is not always the case in the Delta during peak flood season. The area is known for strong populations of elephant, buffalo and plains game, as well as predators including lion, leopard, wild dog and cheetah. In addition, when water levels rise between roughly May and September, the experience expands to include mokoro excursions, boating and even fishing. This duality—land and water—is one of the camp’s defining strengths, and guests often describe the variety of activities as a highlight of their stay.

After flying into camp, there are no crowds, no through traffic, and very few other vehicles, giving a sense of exclusivity and true wilderness immersion from the moment you arrive
