duba plains and duma tau: the tents are pretty much the same. the only difference is distance from the common areas. usually, honeymooners or privacy seekers will take the farthest tent. if you have physical limitations you may take the closer tent.

I always ask for the farthest tent because I don't want to become "part of the traffic" back and forth. I go for the more secluded accommodation.

As I know from Duba Plains, I think tent no. 1 is often "frequented" by elephants. They come feeding close to the tent, and we´ve heard some nice anekdots of elephants shaking the balcony. Elephants are often found inside the camp.

Ah. I have been and am back. Have a look at my trip report. Best tents are fartherest away. Avoid 3 & 4 as these are the least private. Best in order would be 6, 5, 2, 1, 4, then 3.

Had a great time and we saw 2 kills.
