ACCOMMODATION
DumaTau
is a ten-roomed luxury tented camp, in the private 125
000 hectare Linyanti Wildlife Reserve which borders
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 of
the camp.
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
rooms. The bathroom facilities are en-suite, with
hot and cold running water. Each room has an additional
outside shower. There is a dining room, pub, lounge,
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 time on the water, 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 the Linyanti River.
There are many hides in the area where guests can
enjoy wildlife viewing close up and away from a vehicle.
One of the best hides is right at the source of the
Savuti and many species of game and birdlife can usually
be seen from this hide.
The
area is famous for its Elephant concentrations in
our winter months and for the great game viewing all
year. Huge herds of Elephant congregate in winter
along the waterways and lagoons - and at the waterholes
that are located along the Savuti Channel. During
these dry months Sable and Roan traverse the flood
plains. All the predators - Lion, Leopard, Cheetah
and Wild Dog - feast on the prey species in the area,
including Impala, Zebra, Giraffe, Wildebeest, Lechwe,
Tsessebe and all the other plains game.
