Wilderness Tubu Tree Camp

Located on Hunda Island, the largest area of permanently dry land in this region of the Okavango Delta, Wilderness Tubu Tree Camp is surrounded by palatable grasses which lure many species of plains game. A range of diverse habitats, ranging from dry Kalahari sandveld to mopane and riverine forest on the edge of permanent waterways, ensure truly spectacular game viewing.

Along with its sister camp of Wilderness Little Tubu, Wilderness Tubu Tree reopened in 2024 after stunning renovations that were completed with minimal environmental impact. Its eight tents, including a family suite, blend seamlessly into the surrounding indigenous trees, with their upgraded interiors having been inspired by the earthy palate of the Hunda Island plains. Overlooking the vast grassy floodplains from raised platforms, these tents connect you to the lounge areas via elevated walkways. Here you’ll find features meticulously crafted with light oak, live-edge wood, rattan and thatch, to interweave the element of wilderness into every aspect of your stay.

Spend your days at Wilderness Tubu Tree following majestic elephant herds, fearsome lions, Burchell’s zebra and other wildlife across the plains, or head out in a mokoro boat and glide down one of the Okavango Delta’s peaceful channels. Between May and September, the water levels around Wilderness Tubu Tree rise and the floodplains become covered with water, making this a great time for boat adventures and catch-and-release fishing.

Like the rest of Botswana, the variety of bird life here is impressive. Listen out for the spine-tingling cry of the fish-eagle or spot dry-land species on the large islands.
