A private property in the Mababe region, found within an extension of the Chobe National Park, Tumani Tented Camp offers front-row access to incredible wildlife areas, set apart from the busier areas of Northern Botswana. and a star bed safari experience rarely offered in this same way. Easily accessible from Maun and a 25km drive to Khwai - this beautiful spot is set to be one of Botswana's living legends.
The camp is deliberately intimate: eight tented rooms plus a family suite, each slightly raised on wooden platforms with an exterior staircase off the veranda leading up to a private star-deck. At Tumani, sleeping under the stars isn’t a special activity, it’s a built-in feature available to every guest.
At the heart of the camp lies a sprawling main area under thatch, with multiple lounge pockets, interior and al fresco dining offering either privacy or conviviality, and complete with a pool sporting uninterrupted views across the river.
Tumani benefits from access to both the Mababe region and Chobe National Park, combining a quieter, exclusive wilderness within one of Africa’s most renowned wildlife destinations, known for large elephant herds and strong predator populations. Enjoy daily game drives and guided walking safaris, and even add a scenic helicopter flight to your itinerary.
A large deck under thatch that encompasses indoor and outdoor dining, all-day bar area, multiple lounge areas, a small curio shop, a swimming pool and fire deck for early morning coffees or a night cap. Beautiful repurposed furniture, unique textiles and artwork complete the main area that overlooks an evergreen river. A small Wi-Fi lounge allows guests to reconnect when needed.
The camp encompasses 8 classic canvas en-suite tents with a twist; each tent has a platform above it for an option to sleep under the stars. Each tent enjoys views of the river from a private veranda. Tents are complete with plush beds with a mosquito net and ceiling fan, flush loo, hot shower, a double vanity and an office table and chair
