DumaTau is a 10-roomed tented camp located in the private 125 000 hectare Linyanti Wildlife Reserve which borders onto the western boundary of Chobe National Park in northern Botswana.  The camp is built on raised boardwalks under a shady grove of mangosteen trees, overlooking a large hippo-filled lagoon on the Linyanti waterways. The source of the Savuti Channel is close to the camp and game drives along the Savuti are one of the highlights. The rooms are spacious, raised off the ground and under thatch with canvas walls allowing guests to enjoy the night sounds of Africa from the comfort of their beds. The bathroom facilities are en-suite and each room also has an outside shower. The main areas include a dining room, bar, lounge, curio shop, plunge pool and a special guest toilet with a fantastic view. The region has all the habitat diversity to make it a haven for wildlife. Activities are diverse and allow guests to spend time on the water (if water levels permit this), on land and occasionally on foot.  Day and night game drives are conducted in open 4x4 vehicles along the Savuti Channel and the banks of Linyanti River. There are many hides in the area where guests can enjoy wildlife viewing up close and away from a vehicle. One of the best hides is right at the source of the Savuti and many species of wildlife and birdlife can usually be enjoyed from this hide. The area is famous for its elephant concentrations in the winter months and for the great general game viewing all year.  Huge herds of elephant congregate in winter along the waterways and lagoons and at waterholes that are located along the Savuti channel. All the predators such as lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena and wild dog feast on the prey species in the area including impala, zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, lechwe and tsessebe.

Seba Camp, set in an ancient riverine forest in the heart of Botswana's magical Okavango Delta, offers secluded, luxurious accommodation overlooking a lagoon and seasonal floodplain teeming with animal and bird life.  Seba Camp itself has 5 well-appointed and spacious elevated tents which have been individually decorated with a theme representing different Botswana tribes and are designed specifically to blend in with the Okavango landscape. Each has its own en-suite bathroom and a private deck on which to relax and observe the passing wildlife in and around the perennial lagoon. Well-marked, fenced paths lead to the communal dining area and a lounge-library replete with reference and pictorial books. Superb dinners follow cocktails shared by the guests, the researchers and the guides around a traditional camp fire. Meals are usually served al fresco, in the dining area. There is a secluded swimming pool enabling guests to refresh themselves and relax after a game drive. Guests can enjoy more than game viewing at this camp as it is a base for unique research on elephant behaviour and a regular centre for wildlife film makers. Over a period of five years, five elephants from the Abu riding herd have been released into the Okavango Delta with the co-operation of the Botswana Department of Wildlife and National Parks. They have been collared and their daily movements are monitored by researchers who are based at Seba Camp.

Trained guides are ready to advise on all aspects of the Okavango ecosystems in this, one of Africa's last remaining true wilderness areas. Apart from the large elephant population, there is a seasonal abundance of game in the area including giraffe, zebra, impala, wildebeest, tsessebe and lechwe. A pride of lion frequents the greater area and their thrilling calls can sometimes be heard in the evenings. Large herds of buffalo are occasional visitors, too. For bird enthusiasts, some 380 different species are found in the region. In times of high water during the winter months, guests can do walks, mokoro and motor boat excursions and fishing in addition to the usual game drives.

Little Vumbura Camp is a beautiful 6-roomed tented camp situated to the north of Mombo in a private reserve bordering the Moremi Game Reserve in the northern reaches of the Okavango Delta. Little Vumbura offers both water and land activities. Mokoros (dugout canoes) traverse the flood plains under the guidance of our experienced polers. Open 4x4 Land Rovers allow guests to get close to animals in the savannah areas. Guests usually have the opportunity to see Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Sable and Buffalo, along with all the plains animals, providing an excellent all-round wildlife experience in this remote corner of the Okavango. Walks (on request basis only) around the islands as well as night drives give guests the opportunity to enjoy Africa from a different perspective. The 6 tented rooms are large and comfortably appointed and each have an en-suite bathroom with hot and cold running water, a shower and flush toilet. The camp has a plunge pool. Access into this area is only by aircraft and then guests are transferred by means of vehicle and then mokoro or boat to the camp from the airstrip.
