Fodor's Review:

This tiny camp deep in the delta is nestled upon an island shaded by huge trees and surrounded by horizon-touching plains that are seasonally flooded—usually from late April to early October. When the water is high, the game competes with the camp for dry ground, and lions and hyenas become regular dusk-to-dawn visitors. You can watch hundreds of buffalo, leopards, lions, cheetahs, elephants, hippos, lechwes (a type of antelope), and the most beautiful of all the antelopes—the sable—from one of only two 4x4 open game vehicles in the reserve. The Duba lion prides are among the few to hunt by day—they have a taste for buffalo—and if you're really lucky, you might find yourself and your vehicle bang in the middle of one of these spectacular hunts. The area is also a birder's paradise, with an abundance of waterfowl. En-suite tents with ceiling fans and gleaming Rhodesian teak furniture complement stupendous views. There's a comfy lounge and small bar in the public area and a poolside gazebo as well as a bird blind tucked behind the camp.
