About Tubu Tree Camp
Rebuilt in June 2024, Tubu Tree Camp is located on the western edge of Hunda Island in the Jao Reserve — the largest dry-land area within the concession. Surrounded by a mosaic of mopane woodland, acacia forest and seasonal floodplains, the camp offers exceptional year-round game viewing, particularly renowned for leopard, lion, wild dog and large herds of elephant and buffalo.
Guests enjoy both day and night game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, with wildlife movements influenced by seasonal water levels, ensuring every stay offers a dynamic and varied safari experience. During high water months (typically May to September), boating, seasonal fishing and mokoro excursions provide an additional water-based perspective of the Delta.
The camp features eight elevated tented suites, including a spacious family unit with two adjoining tents and a shared lounge, all offering expansive floodplain views. Tubu Tree is connected to Little Tubu via raised wooden walkways, allowing larger groups to combine both camps seamlessly.
INSIDER’S TIP: The raised Star Bed sleep-out offers an unforgettable night under the African sky in true predator country.

Each elevated tent at Tubu Tree offers expansive views across the floodplains and woodlands of Hunda Island. Rebuilt in June 2024, the tents combine classic safari styling with refined contemporary finishes, creating a comfortable and immersive bush retreat.
The spacious suites feature en-suite bathroom facilities, an outdoor shower and a private viewing deck overlooking the surrounding wildlife-rich landscape. From the deck, guests can often observe elephant, buffalo and plains game moving across the open floodplains.

The elevated design maximises both views and airflow, ensuring a light, open atmosphere that remains deeply connected to the surrounding wilderness.

Tubu Tree’s Family Tent is thoughtfully designed to provide both space and privacy for families travelling together. Rebuilt in June 2024, the unit comprises two adjoining tents, each with its own en-suite bathroom and outdoor shower, connected by a shared central lounge area.
The elevated design reflects the same classic safari aesthetic and contemporary comfort as the standard tents, with private viewing decks overlooking the surrounding floodplains and woodlands of Hunda Island. The layout allows parents and children to enjoy separate sleeping areas while sharing a comfortable communal space.
Raised wooden walkways link the Family Tent to the main dining, lounge and pool areas, ensuring seamless access while maintaining privacy and a strong sense of immersion in the bush.
