Tubu Tree Camp
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, Tubu Tree Camp is situated in a region with the most palatable grasses and the largest area of permanently dry land. The camp is surrounded by diverse habitats ranging from dry Kalahari sandveld to mopane and riverine forest on the edge of permanent waterways, ensuring diverse and spectacular game viewing.
The camp is built in traditional style with five tents on raised wooden platforms, allowing great views over the floodplains. Each tent has a private front deck, en-suite bathroom facilities and an outdoor shower.
The main dining and lounge areas are also on raised platforms and an outdoor pub area lies under the canopy of a large marula tree. A plunge pool is useful for cooling off during the heat of the day.
Day and night game drives are offered in open 4x4 vehicles throughout the year, as well as guided walks. During the winter months, the water levels rise and the floodplains become covered with water, permitting water activities; during the flood season (normally May to late September) boating, fishing and mokoro trips are offered. There are two platform hides in the concession.
Wildlife seen here includes elephant, lion, Burchell's zebra, red lechwe, southern giraffe, tsessebe, and blue wildebeest on the floodplains. Kudu, impala, leopard and bushbuck are also seen in the forested areas.
The variety of bird life is impressive with dry-land species seen on the large islands and all the wetland birds seen on the floodplains and waterways.
