Duma Tau

(Chobe National Park and Linyanti - Botswana)

General Description
Duma Tau is built under a shady grove of mangosteen trees, overlooking an enormous hippo-filled lagoon in the Linyanti Reserve. The area covers about 275,000 acres of prime wildlife country situated between the Okavango and Chobe regions. Space and privacy are what sets this reserve apart - as well as its brilliant wildlife concentrations.   

Game drives along the Savuti are very rewarding, with impala, wildebeest, red lechwe, zebra, giraffe, sable, roan, waterbuck, buffalo, baboon, monkey, warthog, lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog and hyena often seen. Duma Tau Lodge offers a choice of land and water based activities, making it a wonderful all-round camp.

Environmental Policy
This Camp is run by Wilderness Safaris. Wilderness is a company at the forefront of eco-tourism who employ full-time environmentalists to ensure their camps are as eco-friendly as possible.  Solar heating and power, limited burning of fossil fuels and utilising battery-operated lighting systems are standard.  All camps are small, mostly tented and designed to blend into the natural environment.  Their goal is that if a camp has to be moved the site can be restored to its natural state.  Their "conservation through tourism" policy shares the benefits of tourism with local communities and ensures the protection of these areas for future generations.
