Wilderness has revealed the re-invented Tubu Tree and Little Tubu camps, above the floodplains in Okavango Delta’s Hunda Island in Botswana’s Jao Reserve.
With eight tented suites and a family unit, Tubu Tree features new hardwood floors and a bar that offers a panoramic view of the floodplains. Tubu Tree is connected to its sister camp, Little Tubu, by elevated boardwalks.
Little Tubu offers a more intimate three-tent retreat. The Little Tubu suites are complete with private decks and outdoor showers.
“The interiors evoke a sense of tranquillity and connection to the surrounding wilderness, inspired by the earthy tones of Hunda Island’s game-studded plains and reflected in the main areas of both camps’ colour palette of beiges, browns and splashes of green” says Cathy Kays, Jao Reserve co-owner and curator of the Tubu camps.
Other than the perfect view of the floodplains and its wildlife, the treetop camps are surrounded by marula trees, jackalberry and fan palms. Guests can enjoy direct access to exhilarating game-viewing during the day, exploring the Delta’s labyrinth of waterways by mokoro, boat or vehicle. At night, adventure-seekers can choose to sleep under the expansive African sky in a Star Bed.
The camps are famed for their views of and exclusive access to the Delta and floodplains, which offers sightings of water-loving game and over 450 species of birds.
Both camps operate using solar power only, and have been refurnished with artisanal repurposed pieces.
