This luxurious, stylish and intimately small tented camp is situated on Hunda Island, the largest island in the Jao reserve, on the western side of the Okavango Delta. Like it’s big sister Tubu Tree Camp, Little Tubu offers some of the best dryland viewing in the area. Although the two camps are separate, they are linked by a wooden walkway. The surrounding forests are a great place to see leopard, while other surrounding areas offer a consistent variety of typical Delta game.

The camp consists of three en-suite tents and an extra tent to provide accommodation for larger groups or families. The small size of the camp keeps things exclusive and intimate. Elevated and built amongst an ancient forest, Little Tubu has a real tree-house feel with traditional decor and light, airy interiors. Each tent has indoor and outdoor showers as well as a private deck with royal views. Like the surroundings, the decor is a feast for the senses - a rich tapestry of natural textures, woven mats, and local woods with stories of their own.
The leopard tracking — guides here have made it their speciality, and the sightings are exceptional. Just six guests, a treehouse feel, and some of the Delta's most intimate predator encounters.
Ask for the star-bed sleep-out option — spending a night on a platform under the Delta sky takes the wilderness immersion to another level entirely.
The camp is wonderfully remote, which means getting here requires a light aircraft — factor in the flight costs and logistics when planning your trip.
