Overview
About Wilderness DumaTau
Wilderness DumaTau overlooks Osprey Lagoon in Botswana's Linyanti, where elephant routes bring wildlife close to camp. Seven tented suites and a family unit each have a private plunge pool, with indoor lounges and space to watch the water. Game drives and boating explore the surrounding wildlife habitats, while the Osprey Retreat adds a spa, gym and shared pool for time between outings. Meals, local drinks, laundry, park fees and twice-daily camp activities are included. It suits travellers who want substantial comfort alongside the Linyanti's elephant herds and predators.
“Private plunge pools, lagoon views and the Osprey Retreat make this a comfortable base for travellers who want elephant encounters with space to unwind between outings.”
