Linyanti Wildlife Reserve

Why We Love Wilderness Linyanti Tented Campl

The Linyanti Marsh attracts wildlife from across the region, particularly during the dry season when elephant and buffalo numbers swell dramatically. The camp’s log-pile hide offers an exceptional photographic vantage point, allowing guests to observe wildlife at close range without disturbance.

This is classic Botswana safari – intimate, wildlife-rich and beautifully remote.

 FAQs Wilderness Linyanti Tented Camp

Where is Linyanti Tented Camp located?

Linyanti Tented Camp is located within a private concession in the Linyanti Wildlife Reserve in northern Botswana, bordering Chobe National Park. The camp overlooks the Linyanti Marsh and floodplains, one of the most wildlife-dense regions in Botswana.

What makes the Linyanti region special?

The Linyanti is particularly renowned for its large elephant and buffalo populations, especially during the dry season (typically May to October) when animals congregate around permanent water sources.

It is also a strong predator area, with frequent sightings of lion, leopard, wild dog and hyena.

How does Linyanti differ from the Okavango Delta?

While the Okavango Delta is defined by permanent water channels and mokoro safaris, the Linyanti region is known for its marshes, dry woodland and open floodplains.

The Linyanti often delivers more concentrated dry-season game viewing, particularly for elephant and large buffalo herds.

What are the advantages of staying in a private concession?

Being located in a private concession allows for:

• Night drives
• Guided walking safaris
• Off-road tracking (where appropriate)
• Fewer vehicles at sightings

These activities are not permitted in Botswana’s national parks, offering a more flexible and exclusive safari experience.

Is Linyanti Tented Camp suitable for families?

Yes. The camp is suitable for couples, small groups and multi-generational families, although the classic tented design is best suited to older children comfortable in a traditional safari setting.

When is the best time to visit Linyanti?

The Dry Season (May to October) is considered peak wildlife season due to high concentrations of elephant and buffalo. The green season (November to April) offers lush landscapes, excellent birding and fewer visitors, though wildlife disperses more widely.
