Location

Linyanti Concession, Botswana

Duma Tau is located in the private 125 000-hectare Linyanti Wildlife Reserve which borders the western boundary of Chobe National Park in northern Botswana. It is situated close to the source of the Savute Channel on one of the many lagoons within the Linyanti Swamp system, which makes game drives along the Savute one of the highlights of a stay here.

The camp is reached by a 50-minute flight from Maun (or a 45-minute flight from Kasane) and then an hour's game drive transfer.
