Wilderness DumaTau
Wilderness DumaTau is a luxurious tented lodge in the remote Linyanti concession of northern Botswana.
Wilderness DumaTau occupies a beautiful waterfront position overlooking Osprey Lagoon, and offers a very high end big game experience. The lodge offers contemporary tented accommodation of a luxurious level, together with superb hospitality and food. It is one of Botswana’s superior offerings, with a price tag to match, but it doesn’t quite offer genuine five star opulence. The Linyanti Concession offers outstanding big game, especially during the dry season, including elephant (often seen drinking and swimming in the lagoon in front of camp), buffalo, hippo, lion, leopard and wild dog. The birdlife is superb and night drives can be very productive. With a wide water frontage, wildlife viewing from the comfort of your private suite with plunge pool is a wonderful way to relax during the heat of the day. The location of the lodge within the concession is superb with easy access to both the Savuti Channel and Linyanti River game drive routes. All in all, a great experience, providing you can afford it.
