Dumatau Camp

There are 10 traditional luxury safari tents at DumaTau camp, each built on raised decks affording wonderful views over the floodplain and lagoon. Each tent has en-suite facilities with indoor and outdoor showers, standing fans and tea and coffee making facilities. The main guest areas at DumaTau Camp overlooks an enormous lagoon with the dining room and bar under thatch on raised decks. The lounge has intimate spaces for guests to enjoy the uninterrupted views across the lagoon. The plunge pool also overlooks this fabulous vista. Evenings are spent around a campfire under the stars. Meals are often under the stars in the boma and private meals are available.

At DamaTau Camp elephants are one of the reserves’ prime attractions – especially in the winter months when they are forced to congregate along the waterways and around the waterholes of the area when the rainfall filled depressions and pans of the interior dry up. At times the reserve must have several thousand elephants roaming around. Red Lechwe, Zebra, Wildebeest, Impala, Waterbuck, Sable, Roan, Eland, Giraffe, Baboon, Monkey, Warthog, Crocodile and Buffalo are some of the other animals to be found here. Then there are the predators, Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, Wild Dog and Hyena and the nocturnal animals; Bushbabies, Spring Hare, Aardwolf, Serval, Genet, Pangolin and the smaller predators.
