Botswana

DumaTau Camp

PLAN MY TRIP

Overlooking a lagoon near the source of the Savute Channel, DumaTau Camp offers the best of northern Botswana's Linyanti region.

Currently under renovation, DumaTau Camp will reopen in August 2020 as a premier level camp with ten large tents, of which two are family tents. Each tent will have a newly remodeled en suite bathroom with both an indoor and outdoor shower, double vanity, and flush toilet. To take full advantage of the stunning views, each tent will have tall sliding doors and windows that allow for wide-angled views of the riverfront. The newly expanded decks will include a private plunge pool and shaded outdoor patio.

DumaTau Camp and its new sister property, Little DumaTau are situated on the banks of the beautiful Linyanti River. This part of northern Botswana is known for its flowing waterways due to its proximity to the Linyanti River. There are numerous predators that also roam the grasslands and swamps, including lion, cheetah, wild dog, hyena, and leopard. In recent years, this area has also been used as a denning site for the rare brown hyena. However, the area is most well-known for its large concentrations of elephants as they gather around the waterways.

Morning and afternoon game drives along the Savute in open 4×4 Land Rovers are the premier activity here. But water levels permitting, guests can also enjoy cruises on the channel itself by motorized boat or barge. Like so much of northern Botswana, the Linyanti has high concentrations of plains game including impala, wildebeest, red lechwe, zebra, buffalo, and antelope. And though DumaTau means “roar of the lion,” the region is best known for the large herds of elephant. Depending on the availability, nature walks with skilled, armed guides are wonderful ways of getting close to nature and observing the smaller things missed from the vehicles. The camp’s Star Bed offers an authentic and unique way to sleep out under the crystal clear African skies surrounded by nature. Anglers can enjoy some catch and release fishing.

The main area of camp houses a lounge and a “curiosity room” filled with objects and books for guests to explore and read for more information on the rich history of the Linyanti Region and its ample wildlife. Delicious meals are dished up at the outdoor dining room. The camp’s firepit is the ideal place to gather at night for a chat and drink. DumaTau shares a Wellness Center and Spa with its new sister property, Little DumaTau with a wide menu of relaxing and rejuvenating spa treatments. There is even a lap pool, a deli with tasty snacks, and a trading store. DumaTau runs on solar energy.
