The dining, bar and lounge area has received new decking with the bar area now offering guests expansive views of the Osprey Lagoon and Linyanti floodplains. By August, a second pool will be added to the western side of the camp.

The new tents have a sliding gauze door at the rear to improve airflow and bathrooms have been adjusted to include a sliding fabric wall, ensuring guests have complete privacy.

DumaTau comprises ten en-suite tents with views of the river. The camp has a low eco-footprint and is completely solar powered.

The camp pioneered a reforestation project in the area that has seen over 1 000 trees of various indigenous species planted to date.

Kim Nixon, Wilderness Safaris Botswana Managing Director, said: “In time, our guests will be able to help plant trees from the nursery to make a meaningful contribution to the ongoing habitat restoration of this pristine area. In addition to experiencing a life-changing journey to the Linyanti, they will leave DumaTau knowing they have made a positive impact to the conservation of this extraordinary wilderness area.”

DumaTau is close to the source of the Savute Channel. Nixon commented: “The camp is situated in one of the best wildlife areas in this massive private reserve, offering the perfect base from which to explore the Linyanti and experience its diverse array of wildlife on a range of land- and water-based activities.”
