Experience The Wildlife Encounters Of The Linyanti Reserve At Dumatau
DumaTau Camp (DumaTau meaning 'roar of the lion') is a ten-roomed luxury tented camp, in the private 125 000-hectare Linyanti Wildlife Reserve which borders the western boundary of Chobe National Park in northern Botswana.
This Linyanti Luxury Tented Camp is built on raised boardwalks under a shady grove of mangosteen trees, overlooking a large hippo-filled lagoon on the Linyanti waterways. The source of the Savuti Channel is close to the camp, and game drives along the Savuti are one of the highlights of the camp.
The area is famous for its elephant concentrations in the winter months and the great game viewing all year.
