Little Tubu Camp
Okavango Delta
Accommodation
Little Tubu is
Tubu Tree's sister camp. Located just around the corner of Tubu Tree Camp, this small camp offers a very private experience with just three rooms. The rooms are raised on stilts and connected to the main area via raised walkways. The sympathetically and stylishly furnished rooms are constructed beneath shade-giving trees. All rooms have en-suite facilities, outdoor shower, and a delightful deck to relax and read on.
A small river flows in front of the main building during the annual floods. The boma area, a viewing platform and the plunge pool are all built along this channel.
Location
Little Tubu Camp is situated in the western Okavango Delta on a large peninsula (Hunda Island) that ensures great year-round game drives. The plain in front of the camp fills with water during the floods, turning into a lagoon brimming with antelope and birdlife from April until September.
The region is one of the most beautiful and diverse in the whole Okavango Delta, and the romantic palm islands create a real Caribbean feeling.
Little Tubu Camp is only accessible by light aircraft. Hunda Airstrip is located approximately 15 minutes from the camp. Flight time to Maun in a Cessna Caravan is 35 minutes, and 1 hour 20 minutes to Kasane.
Little Tubu Camp is part of the private Jao Concession (630 km²). Jacana Camp, Kwetsani Camp and the premier Jao Camp all belong to this concession.
Wildlife
Hunda Island is home to a wide variety of wildlife; almost anything can be found here, although the bird life is particularly impressive. Elephant, buffalo, hippo and crocodile may be encountered. There are also lots of zebra, wildebeest, kudu and red lechwe (during floods), followed by lion, leopard, hyena and sometimes even cheetah.
Little Tubu Camp has an impressive concentration of leopard and the chances of seeing this shy cat here are excellent.
Activities
Game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, night drives, fishing (catch & release). Boat and mokoro trips are available during the flood season. Mokoro trips begin directly in front of the camp when waters are high.
Because the camp is located in a private concession, night driving with a searchlight and off-road driving for special animal observation is allowed. Close-up shots are guaranteed.
Good to know
An observation deck is located about 20 minutes outside of the camp, close to a small lagoon. The adventurous may spend a night here armed with a mosquito net.
