A beautiful variety of birdlife can also be seen. Dryland species can be spotted on the larger islands, and a multitude of wetland birds can be seen in the floodplains and waterways.
Tubu Tree: As its name indicates, this eight-tented traditional-style camp is set into a tree canopy on elevated wooden walkways, with uninterrupted views over the surrounding floodplains. The family unit has two adjoining tents, separate bathrooms and a shared lounge. The main area, set around a majestic anthill, features finishes like light oak, live-edge wood, rattan, and thatch, bringing wilderness elements indoors. By day, the pool deck invites quiet contemplation of the panoramic view, while the Tubu Star Bed offers a romantic night under the magnificent African sky.
