Room types at Little DumaTau
Twin/Double Suite(s)
This charming camp is a haven of sophisticated elegance, with just four supremely spacious guest suites, each with a private plunge pool and comfortable lounge, and a capacious bathroom with indoor and outdoor showers.
Exploration is a theme that recurs throughout the history of this region – and forms a key part of the guest experience. The design of the camp itself is intended to prompt questions and encourage guests to discover the purpose of Wilderness Little DumaTau.
Activities at Little DumaTau
Wilderness Little DumaTau – Barge Excursion & Boating *
Discover the beautiful Linyanti by barge or boat, the former being perfect for picnics or sundowners. The stunning river views provide a magnificent backdrop while searching out the spectacular birdlife so prevalent in the channels.
* Water levels permitting.
Wilderness Little DumaTau – Birding
This superb area is internationally recognised as an IBA (Important Bird Area), and the Savuti Channel is famous for its high concentration of birds of prey.
Wilderness Little DumaTau – Fishing *
Fishing is permitted on a catch and release basis, with camp having a small stock of basic rods and reels.
* Note that fishing is seasonal as it is prohibited by Botswana law in January and February due to breeding purposes.
Wilderness Little DumaTau – Game Drives
Wilderness Little DumaTau is located close to the source of the Savuti Channel, with access to the Linyanti Swamps, floodplains and mopane woodlands, thus offering an excellent combination of habitats. Game drives reveal the rich wildlife of the area, and as an important elephant corridor, the Linyanti is famed for the huge number of elephants seen here. The open 4x4 vehicles allow us to host four guests at a time, with each guest having a ‘window’ seat, thereby offering truly dedicated time with your enthusiastic guide.
Wilderness Little DumaTau – Guided Nature Walks *
Be even closer to nature and observe the smaller things you may miss when travelling by vehicle.
* Seasonal and subject to the availability of a qualified walking guide.
Wilderness Little DumaTau – Night Drives
Night drives with spotlights allow you to find those mysterious nocturnal animals. These often include owls, aardwolf, servals, large spotted genets and, if you are extremely lucky, elusive leopards!
Wilderness Little DumaTau – Star Deck

Wilderness Little DumaTau provides a secluded space to take full advantage of the fantastic views over Osprey Lagoon, and the opportunities to watch the wealth of wildlife – including the mega-herds of elephant for which the Linyanti region is known.
Hidden away amongst the natural vegetation for an immediate immersion into nature, as part of a holistic health and wellness experience that creates a retreat in the truest sense of the word – enjoy being pampered by one of our expert massage therapists.
In-tent massages are available too should you prefer to enjoy these relaxing offerings in the privacy of your tent.
* All treatments at an additional cost.
