Why it's unique

Located on Hunda Island in the floodplains of Botswana, Tubu Tree Camp is a canvas oasis perched in the treetops above the Okavango Delta.

Set in one of Africa's most wildlife-rich areas, Tubu is an excellent place to embark on both game drives and boat rides in traditional mokoro canoes. You can even try your hand at catch-and-release fishing in the reed-framed Okavango waterways for an extra unique spin on safari.
