Our group (9 people) stayed here for 3 days. The camp is literally tents (albeit nice ones) connected by wooden bridges. I felt like part of the Swiss Family Robinson (but richer). STAFF: Great. Everyone is relaxed and nice. I got really sick while I was there (not their fault) and I had personal attention, medicine, and contact with a... More

OK. Dena from Trip Advisor, you made it. I have to write another review. It will be about another lodge in Botswana. It will be about Duma Tau. I just returned from it two days ago and on this trip it got my gold medal. With wilde nature the situation may change any moment but as of today, they have... More

Fabulous is the word for everything at Duma Tau! Lions, leopards mating, wild dogs, lots of elephants, zebra, wildebeest, and more. The staff and guides are amazing, friendly people with a warm demeanor and great sense of humour. Can't wait to go back!!! More

This resort has beautiful rooms, professional staff, and knowledgable, experienced guides. The meals were very nicely presented and delicious. The first two resorts prepared us for this one. Since the guide knew we didn't need to stop for elephants, giraffes, or impalla any more he tracked the wild dogs during a hunt. We saw the kill, the feeding and the... More

We stayed at Duma Tau for three nights in late August and loved it especially our guide Carlton. He was extremely knowledgable about wildlife and passionate about providing great experience. We saw large herds of elephants, wart hogs, leopard, lions and lots of zebra, water buffalo, giraffe, antelope and baboons. We also saw a wild dog chase and kill which... More

Duma Tau is located in the Northern part of the Savuti-Linyanti concession. At the time I was there planned renovations had not taken place ad yet. The rooms were clean, albeit a little more rustic than Savuti camp. The camp's Linyanti river aspect is a sight to see. Game drives are around the channel, where you can see red lechwe... More

We stayed here for two nights - the first camp of three in Botswana. It's a little older than the other camps we stayed at (Xigera and Vumbera Plains) but still very nice. Apparently they are going to tear it down in a year or so and relocate to a new location close-by and upgrade it. They feed you a... More

My husband and I stayed with a large group at Duma Tau Camp back on Nov '08. Where should I begin.... DumaTau (meaning 'roar of the lion') is a luxury tented camp, in the private 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... More

The issues we had .. the elephants over the years have destroyed the land .. it is not lush, not green all you see is dead trees. Our guide Bobby while he was nice enoughl.. he seemd as though he did not... More

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback after your recent trip to Botswana. It’s great to see that overall you had a good time, but we would like to respond to the concerns that you raised. Winter in the Linyanti is a quite a different scene compared to that of the delta. The delta remains lush due... More
