A variety of wet and dryland habitats resulting in diverse bird and animal life
Tubu Tree Camp is located on the far west of the Jao concession which borders the Moremi Reserve and is almost impossible to see from the lagoon that it faces, hidden as it is in a dense forested thicket. It is a more traditional, less opulent tented camp with a cosy atmosphere. Small-ish but comfy tents furnished in old safari style overlook the lagoon while the main sitting and dining room, also under canvas, have a lovely view out across the flood plains. The camp is unfussy but has a very high standard of decor and facilities, with a small plunge pool and sundeck.
The area is seasonally flooded and so activities depend on what the water is doing; game and night driving and walking in the dry season and mokoro, motor-boating and fishing when the water is up. Tubu Tree camp is ideal for those that are looking for privacy and a pleasingly simple camp with good wildlife and a lovely setting. It's classic camp status also means that it may be a little more affordable in comparison to some of the more luxury alternatives.

The Okavango Delta is the largest inland Delta in the world and is incomparable to any other game destination in Africa. A vast spread of channels, lagoons, forests and reed islands spreads across northern Botswana and disappears into the sands of the Kalahari. As you can imagine, birdlife is amazing here and game viewing too is very special; not only because of the variety and number of animals but also because you can do a great deal by boat, giving a totally different perspective to the traditional bumpy, dusty game drives.

Safaris in Botswana offer dramatic extremes. One the one hand, the lush landscapes of the Okavango Delta and the Linyanti/Chobe River systems, on the other, the beautiful other-worldly expanse of the Makgadikgadi Pans and the Kalahari Desert. The variety of habitats makes for varied animal and birdlife as well as beautiful scenery. Strict controls mean that Botswana safari camps and lodges are generally small, and due to the tricky logistics of operating in a delta or a desert, a safari here is seldom cheap, and it's important to know where to go if you are looking for that authentic safari experience.
