"Little Tubu review"
3 nights Arrived 26 Mar 2018
"A wonderful camp in all respects. Wonderful staff. Beautiful rooms, and relaxing decks with a fantastic view.
Fantastic food with meals individualized for each guest's preferences (and the only camp that managed to create truly vegan meals).
Dinner was served under the stars in a different location each night, and each arrangement had a magical atmosphere." See all these reviews: 14n in Botswana

"Little Tubu review"
2 nights Arrived 22 Aug 2016
"It took BA/SAA 3 days to get our luggage to us. The lodge made a special effort to get our only clothes laundered in the midday break of our only full day there, for which we were truly grateful.
As with all of the lodges, the staff were excellent - constantly smiling and nothing was too much trouble.
A general comment applicable to all camps about the food. The presentation was first class and the choice remarkable given the difficult supply logistics. All meals were a delight and the temptation to over-indulge difficult to resist. Our only negative comment is that with one exception, the evening meal meat courses were almost always overcooked, or bordering on being so." See all these reviews: 14n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"A lovely intimate and relaxed camp"
3 nights Arrived 20 Nov 2015
"Little Tubu was the perfect way to end our safari trip, the small size means everything is be flexible and relaxed.
The staff couldn't be more helpful and as the team is small you really got to know people. The welcome was very warm and friendly and this continued throughout our stay.
The rooms are of a very high standard and very spacious and comfortable." See all these reviews: 9n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Truly memorable stay at Little Tubu !"
3 nights Arrived 11 Sep 2015
"We had chosen Little Tubu as last safari camp for our trip, and it absolutely delivered, in any possible way, as a "grand finale"!! Everything was perfect: truly stunning rooms and views; inventive, extremely varied and fresh, and always seriously good food (!); extremely high service level, genuine friendliness and helpfulness of the staff... all were the best we have experienced on this trip, and on many previous holidays!
We were a group of five, and as such, had the camp to ourselves, which made it an extra special experience, one we shall never forget! We absolutely want to thank everyone at this lovely camp, because they all went out of their way to make us feel genuinely welcome and to not want to leave at all ! We honestly can't think of anything that could have been improved. Keep up the extremely good work guys, we would definitely love to return to Little Tubu !
Finally, a special note goes to our guide, Dennis. He did an absolutely fantastic job! Always enthusiast, positive and humorous, and very knowledgeable ! We thoroughly enjoyed our game drives - loved the leopard-mother-with-teenage-son-sighting - and boat/mokoro trips (saw some beautiful birds during the latter!). Finally, we also very much loved the walking safari: we found it exciting and perhaps a bit frightening at first, but learned everything we always wanted to know about termites, and bush men hunting/firemaking techniques!
Top marks for Wilderness Safaris, for having sent Dennis to be our guide, as he is a qualified walking safari guide, and there aren't that many around in Botswana. As we had indicated beforehand that we were interested in doing a walking a safari, they specially transferred him from the camp he usually works at (Kwetsani) to Little Tubu for us. That is what we call splendid customer service ! Thank you !!" See all these reviews: 10n in Botswana; 1n in Zimbabwe

"Little Tubu"
3 nights Arrived 17 Sep 2014
"The location, staff, facilities and activities were outstanding. This camp, our last, made us desire to stay even longer than our three nights. We had the "place to ourselves" and we were pampered beyond belief.
Since we were the only guests - just three tents - we had a chance to talk freely and ask the questions that we had gathered during our stay in Botswana. We are so impressed with government programs and management of their country. In this camp we were introduced to a large variety of Africans from places nearby and from other countries who were articulate about their lives and their choice of professions and the training that was required. Each individual staff member at this camp were outstanding individuals yet managed to work as a highly skilled team.
Our deep appreciation to Botswana, the concessions and above all, the people that have been selected to run the camps." See all these reviews: 12n in Botswana; 1n in Zambia

"Little Tubu review"
2 nights Arrived 7 Sep 2014
"Little Tubu, our last stop, proved to be somewhat of a surprise. There were some less than glowing reviews on Trip Advisor when it first opened, but what ever problems there might have been are no longer. We weren't expecting terrific game viewing and yet that is what we experienced. Johnny, our guide, was wonderful, and almost met the extraordinarily high standards of our guides at Dulini and Savuti. The lion sightings at Tubu were truly memorable. We also thoroughly enjoyed the bush walk with the elderly bush man who showed us how to make an animal snare and to make fire in a matter of seconds. All of those participants on the TV program, Survivor, should take a few lessons from him!!
As previously stated, the tents at Little Tubu are extremely spacious and comfortable. Both indoor and outdoor showers are delightful. The food and service were amazing. Although a bit separated, the three Little Tubu tents are really not very far from Tubu Tree and its twelve tents. We were not expecting the two camps to be quite so close together, although Little Tubu is definitely run as a separate camp with totally separate dining facilities. The boma dinner the last evening of our trip, held under a magnificent full moon, left us with memories of a lifetime!" See all these reviews: 7n in Botswana; 1n in Zambia
