Tubu Tree Camp

Gregory Fox

Tubu Tree is a beautifully designed lodge. The views over the flood plains provide some of the most stunning scenery that Botswana has to offer. I knew I was in paradise while relaxing on my private veranda taking in the birdlife and the peace and tranquillity that the Delta has to offer.

  • Gregory Fox

Tubu Tree is a small camp built on the western side of Hunda Island, in the Okavango Delta's Jao Concession. Generally a water-inundated area, during the floods this is the largest stretch of dry land in the area, so Tubu Tree usually has the most diverse game viewing experience within the concession, from the water-loving lechwe to blue wildebeest of the plains. The area is a combination of open grasslands, dry forest and shallow floodplains. Therefore game viewing is varied, including giraffe, elephant, lion, warthog, lechwe, hippo, leopard, cheetah, tsessebe, buffalo, serval, aardwolf plus all plains game.

Botswana Review

Loved Botswana. Its a country that really seems to have its act together. They have made conscious decisions to maintain their environment and from our little exposure it seems that the government has been able to avoid much of the corruption and inefficiencies of many other African countries.
