Duma Tau

Duma Tau | Information

For an intimate communion with nature, Duma Tau – lion’s roar – is an exclusive and luxurious tented camp elevated under a shady grove in the Linyanti waterway. Overlooking a large hippo-infested lagoon, the ten suites are on raised wooden decks under thatched roofs with canvas walls that seem to amplify the night sounds – and that lion’s roar. Each is luxuriously fitted with en suite bathrooms, soul-sapping beds, romantic outdoor showers and private viewing decks.

The main lodge, linked to the rooms by winding boardwalks, welcomes you and the African wilderness with open arms – and open sides, open decks and, most important, an open bar. The dining room, pool and lounge are a comfortable and relaxing communal area and you’ll need your camera when you use the guest toilet.

Duma Tau: where the lions roar

Duma Tau is in the 125,000ha Linyanti Wildlife Reserve on the western boundary of Chobe National Park. Game viewing is mostly land-based traversing of the floodplains of the Savuti Channel and the Linyanti River. Hides along the Savuti provide spine-tingling close-ups of the wildlife - even your disposable point-and-shoot will capture enough detail to impress the family back home. Night drives and river safaris – water levels allowing - complete the fascinating encounter. The Savuti is famous for its high concentrations of plains game and the predators – lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena and wild dog – have long since cottoned on to the fact. Huge herds of huge elephant move into the Linyanti floodplain during the dry months along with the noble sable and roan antelopes.
