You’ll find Wilderness DumaTau in the Linyanti – a remote wetlands area within the mighty Chobe National Park in northern Botswana. Home to Africa’s highest density of elephants, DumaTau’s location between two busy elephant corridors, framed by a long stretch of river, results in exceptional encounters with huge herds of these gentle giants, who’re part of Africa’s last great mega-herd.
A stay in one of the 8 stilted tented suites, each designed in warm colours and with its own plunge pool, means to have a front-row seat to the aquatic action. Observe elephants playfully spraying each other with water while you take a dip, and spot resident buffalos on your way to the spa as you walk along the raised platforms that weave their way between the expansive living spaces and tented suites.
You can edge even closer on a boating safari along the Linyanti River, watching as herds of elephants and their young calves link up by their trunks and tails to safely wade through the water. DumaTau is also home to impressive lion prides, as well as packs of elusive African wild dogs who move through the wildlife corridors.
After game drives, cool off with swims in the 12-metre pool outside the Osprey Retreat, and enjoy healthy cuisine at the Osprey Lagoon Deli – dine al fresco on the barge, and savour your sundowner overlooking the Linyanti lagoon. Sundowners around the floating firepit with views of the lagoon offer a fitting end to the day’s adventures.
Enjoy morning and afternoon game drives, and set off on a boat safari to view wildlife from the water. You can also explore Botswana by barge, a brilliant way to bird-watch and enjoy a picnic on the Linyanti River. Guided walks, night drives, conservation experiences, and catch-and-release fishing are also on offer – or soar to new heights on a helicopter safari.
