Accommodation

Immerse yourself in the majestic world of the African elephant and see the bush and its wildlife through the eyes of the elephants. Form a emotional bond with the Abu herd and be humbled and inspired as you gain a understanding of elephant conservation, the premise on which Abu is based.

​

Named after a very special bull elephant, Abu is set in a pristine riverine forest and blends in seamlessly with the magnificent surrounding trees. Each of the six en-suite tents has its own distinctive furnishings and fittings, imparting an air of opulence in the bush, and featuring an indoor and outdoor shower, an outdoor copper bath and a plunge pool sunk into the elevated teak deck.

Newly rebuilt, Little Mombo is a celebration of our conservation purpose, including the Botswana Rhino Reintroduction Project that takes place here. It combines luxury and service excellence with a celebration of the amazing natural splendour that is the Mombo Concession.

 

With just three tents tucked away on Chief's Island, built under a shady canopy of jackalberry and sausage trees, overlooking a floodplain regularly visited by herds of herbivores (and their predators), the camp has its own facilities, including a dining area, boma, kitchen, lounge and pool, while being connected to Mombo Camp via a raised boardwalk.

Located just off the northern tip of Chief’s Island, the largest landmass in the Okavango the newly rebuilt Mombo boasts enormous concentrations of plains game and predators and is considered to be one of the best areas for game viewing in Africa.

 

The nine spacious tents afford sweeping views over a floodplain teeming with wildlife. The sitting room, separate bedroom and bathroom, indoor and outdoor showers and bathtub with copper and brass fittings all contribute to the Wilderness ideal of responsible luxury.

Little Vumbura is situated on a beautiful island in a private concession in the northern reaches of the Okavango Delta. Surrounded as it is by water and lying close to large rivers, both water- and land-based activities are as central to the overall experience, with both offering spectacular and diverse wildlife sightings.

 

Little Vumbura is a beautiful six-roomed tented camp shaded by the canopy of an ancient forest. Each well-appointed tent has en-suite facilities and a deck with incredible vistas. A plunge pool and reading area overlook the floodplains while a star deck is reached by a bridge from the dining area.

Luxurious Vumbura Plains lies in an area that is a mix of water and dry land. The wildlife is diverse, so that both land and water activities on vehicles, mekoro and boats deliver an all-round African safari experience.

 

Vumbura Plains comprises two separate satellite camps, consisting of 14 spacious rooms raised off the ground.  Each of the rooms are unique and contemporary in design with indoor and outdoor showers and an en-suite bathroom. Additional room features include a private plunge pool and 'sala’ – a place from which to watch the passing parade of wildlife or indulge in a soothing massage.

DumaTau, meaning ‘roar of the lion,’ is a luxury tented camp located in the private Linyanti Wildlife Reserve that borders the western boundary of Chobe National Park. The area is famed for large herds of elephants and exceptional game viewing along the Savute Channel.

 

DumaTau consists of ten-roomed (eight twin and two family) tents raised off the ground to take advantage of the dramatic views of the Osprey Lagoon. Each en-suite tent is spacious, spreading out under a canvas roof, with clear-storey sliding doors. There is an airy, expansive dining and lounge area and a pool, all overlooking the lagoon and its denizens.

The word Pelo in Setswana means ‘heart’ – a fitting name inspired by the distinct heart-shaped island on which the camp is built in the heart of the Jao Concession. This is the Delta as it is meant to be enjoyed – remote, genuine, and wild.

 

Pelo’s main area comprises a tented dining area and lounge situated under impressive wild date palms, jackalberry and Natal mahogany trees while the inviting plunge pool allows for refreshing dips in the midday heat. There is also an outdoor boma area and a raised lookout deck perfect for sundowners. The five intimate guest tents, complete with a covered front veranda, have en-suite bathrooms with both an indoor and outdoor shower.

Linyanti Tented Camp, available for families and small groups, is the ideal location for those wishing to experience the wildlife-rich Linyanti Concession in privacy.

 

Unrivalled in its remoteness and sense of space, the camp overlooks the iconic marsh and floodplains with its eight large, airy and en-suite tents split between two camps and designed to recreate the style of the early explorers. Built on a slightly raised deck with impressive views, the camp’s main area is the perfect place from which to watch the passing parade of wildlife and for convivial relaxation. Evenings are spent around the crackling fire under the stars or in the traditional boma.
