Wilderness Little DumaTau
About Wilderness Little DumaTau
Wilderness Little DumaTau is an ultra-exclusive sanctuary nestled within the private Linyanti Wildlife Reserve, offering an intimate gateway to one of Botswana's most prolific wildlife corridors. Positioned on the edge of the iconic Savute Channel and Osprey Lagoon, this boutique camp features just four expansive tented suites, each designed to blend sophisticated elegance with the raw beauty of the surrounding bush. Guests are treated to a deeply personal safari experience, where the rhythm of the day is dictated by the movement of mega-herds of elephants and the calls of the wild. The camp serves as a private annex to its sister property, DumaTau, yet maintains complete independence with its own dedicated lounge, dining area, and pool. Between adventures, guests can retreat to the shared Osprey Retreat—a wellness hub featuring a spa, gym, and lap pool—or simply watch hippos and crocodiles from their private plunge pool. With a focus on 'curiosity' and discovery, the camp encourages a profound connection to the Linyanti ecosystem through expert-led explorations by land and water.
Why we like it
We love its extreme intimacy and premier location in the heart of elephant territory. The 'camp-within-a-camp' concept provides the privacy of a small lodge with access to the extensive wellness and dining facilities of the larger DumaTau property.
