Wilderness Little DumaTau is an intimate, ultra-luxury safari camp set in the heart of Botswana’s elephant-rich Linyanti Wildlife Reserve. With just a handful of suites, it offers a highly personal safari experience overlooking the Osprey Lagoon.
This exclusive sister camp to DumaTau sits within one of Africa’s most wildlife-dense regions, where elephants, predators, and vast herds of plains game move through ancient river corridors and floodplains year-round.
Little DumaTau combines understated luxury with a deep sense of wilderness immersion. Set along the lagoon frontage of the Linyanti system, the camp is perfectly positioned for exceptional wildlife viewing directly from your suite or main deck.
Guests experience a private, slow-paced safari with dedicated guiding, where every drive or boat excursion explores a vast, unfenced ecosystem of rivers, marshes, woodlands, and open plains. The camp is designed for exclusivity, with only a few suites ensuring space, privacy, and tranquillity throughout.
