Moonlight Tours Expedition – Tubu Tree Camp: An Exclusive Okavango Delta Escape

Nestled on a large island in the northwestern Jao Private Concession of Botswana’s Okavango Delta, Tubu Tree Camp offers an intimate and classic big-game safari experience. The diverse landscapes, from dry savannas to seasonal floodplains, provide exceptional wildlife viewing, including elephants, buffalo, giraffes, hippos, and numerous antelope species. Predators, including big cats, roam the area, making for thrilling game encounters, while the birdlife is equally spectacular.

Tubu Tree Camp provides year-round safari adventures, offering game drives, night safaris, and walking expeditions with expert guides. During the flood season (June to September), guests can experience the magic of the Okavango’s waterways through mokoro (canoe) trips, motorboat excursions, and fishing adventures.

For younger explorers, the Bush Buddy program caters to children aged six to 17, ensuring they stay engaged and educated throughout their safari experience.
