Duma Tau
About the hotel
If you love elephants and truly wild landscapes, Duma Tau will capture your imagination. The lodge lies within the private 125,000-hectare Linyanti Wildlife Reserve, on the border with Namibia’s Caprivi Strip. The lounge and restaurant look out across Osprey Lagoon, where exceptional wildlife sightings unfold. Duma Tau, meaning “the roar of the lion” in Setswana, is set on raised wooden decks beneath the shade of mangosteen trees, with contemporary architecture, beautiful design touches and sweeping panoramic views. Each tented suite has its own private pool, with interiors featuring handcrafted mosaic tiles, acacia wood and locally woven textiles. The culinary experience at Duma Tau is every bit as memorable.
Kids & Teens
Duma Tau is a dream for young explorers of the natural world. Game drives, boat excursions and the many wildlife sightings around camp are highlights for children, creating unforgettable moments they will treasure. They will learn to read tracks and uncover the secrets of the bush. On local excursions, you will meet the local community and gain an authentic insight into life here. After a day spent outdoors, full of activity and discovery, they will fall happily into bed each evening.
Experiences & Activities
Game drives are, without question, among Duma Tau’s defining highlights. Safaris can be enjoyed both on land, in a 4x4 safari vehicle, and on the water. Be inspired by extraordinary wildlife encounters and capture remarkable photographs. You can also join guided nature walks and birdwatching excursions. Especially memorable is the chance to witness the spectacular elephant migration along the Linyanti River, a scene that never fails to fascinate nature lovers. You can also indulge in spa and wellness treatments, alongside fresh, wholesome cuisine, smoothies and juices created by the chefs.

Duma Tau
in our eyes
Duma Tau’s setting is simply breathtaking! Watching elephants cross the Linyanti River straight from the terrace of the inviting family suite is the kind of experience that stays with you forever. You wake to birdsong, hear the grunts of hippos and feel utterly immersed in nature — it is a place that leaves you speechless. Only the restaurant, with its river views and exceptional cuisine, could possibly surpass it. Our top hotel recommendation in the Linyanti region!
Best time to travel
The best time to visit the Linyanti region in Botswana is between May and September. During these months, temperatures are pleasantly cool and the dry season makes wildlife viewing easier, as many animals gather around the reMayning water sources. Elephants, giraffes and big cats are particularly easy to spot at this time. These months are also ideal for safari activities such as off-road drives and night drives. Clear air also ensures excellent visibility.
