The five expedition-style canvas tents are raised on decking and shaded by mature jackalberry, leadwood, mangosteen, and sycamore-fig trees. Each tent is furnished with a campaign writing desk, a private veranda, and en-suite bathroom facilities.Duba Explorers Camp is known for its superb game viewing, with morning, afternoon, and evening drives available.
