Let us introduce you to Wilderness Little Tubu

Palm-dotted floodplains. Lush riverine forests. A wild island, brimming with life. And two treetop havens – introducing the newly rebuilt Wilderness Little Tubu. ​ Here, nature rules in its rawest form. While the Delta’s channels define the island’s edges, nothing can prepare you for what lies beyond the boundaries of the camps. Every step, drive or paddle whispers of adventure and discovery.

Accommodation

Luxurious, stylish and sheltered by a canopy of trees, Little Tubu’s three elevated tented suites are connected by a series of winding, wooden walkways. Each eco-chic tent is perched on a raised platform, offering exceptional views of a seasonal riverbed. Find your way to the comfortable living area for a dip in the pool, and a drink at the bar built into a waterberry tree.

"We spent 3 nights at Little Tubu. Theo and all the other staff were ultra friendly and paid much attention to detail. The staff were quite flexible and being a smaller camp, the staff were quite accommodating. The seasonal floodplain was dry but it made for great game viewing, especially from the deck. There are only 3 tents and the experience is extra special and homely. The tents are neat, clean and comfortable."

Excellent Experience - Big Wow

"Great intimate setting would not change anything. The staff were exceptional, attention to detail was first rate. The food was fabulous, the chefs feed us well, they cook with love. Everyday was a big WOW. The camp manager Tumi went above and beyond our expectations. Our guide Chaps out did himself every game drive in finding animals for us to view. By the end of our stay he felt like family to us. Job well done. My most memorable experience will always be weaving baskets with the staff experts. Shout out to each and everyone involved. We would highly recommend this camp!!!!!!! Thanks for inviting us to your home. You are all missed."
