Little Duma Tau, Botswana | Mahlatini Luxury Travel

Discover Little Duma Tau

Little Duma Tau is a stylish and intimate 4-suite camp perfect for families or small groups looking for an exclusive, private safari experience. Like its sister camp Duma Tau, its unique position close to both the Linyanti river and the source of the Savuti Channel offers some of the greatest habitat diversity and game viewing in Northern Botswana, whilst its lagoon frontage provides uninterrupted views over the wildlife-rich Osprey Lagoon.

The 4 ultra-spacious guest suites exude stylish elegance, each equipped with its own private plunge pool and both indoor and outdoor shower, and customised with in-tent spot-cooling to ensure all-day comfort. The lounge and outdoor dining areas offer uninterrupted views of the Osprey Lagoon, whilst the Osprey Retreat wellness area (shared with DumaTau) offers a gym, spa, lap pool, and safari boutique. As the sun sets, unwind with your loved ones on the intimate star deck. The camp is 100% solar-powered and water-efficient.

In addition to morning, afternoon, and night game drives, the camp offers boating excursions, nature walks, catch-and-release fishing, birding expeditions, and helicopter rides over the Rift's fault line. There is a constant stream of elephants and other wildlife passing by, so you do not have to go far from camp to view game. For families, the camp offers a Bush Buddy programme for ages 6 to 16.
