DumaTau Camp (Chobe / Linyanti Region) Botswana
Location:
The Linyanti Reserve consists of 125,000 hectares of prime wildlife countryside. The reserve is bordered to the north by the Linyanti River and the east by the Chobe National Park. Two-thirds of the Savuti Channel is situated within this reserve. The region has all the habitat diversity to make it a haven for wildlife. There are excellent grasslands and water holes along the Savuti channel and along the Linyanti.
Inland there are acacia and mopane forests which sustain large numbers of Elephants in the winter months. The Savuti area is famous for its Lions which have been documented in National Geographic films, one of the most exciting being the Joubert's "Eternal Enemies" - which depicts the conflicts between Lions and Hyaena. It is in this reserve that Duma Tau is situated.
