Your Itinerary
3 nights in the Linyanti
To start your adventure, you will spend 3 days exploring the Linyanti, in a private reserve that borders the western boundary of Chobe National Park.
Known for its prolific populations of elephants and buffalo, the Linyanti offers some spectacular game-viewing opportunities, and wildlife encounters can include lion, leopard, wild dog, and the rare and elusive sitatunga antelope. Linyanti Bush Camp also offers both morning and evening game drives – a real treat – as you will be able to experience the bush when the nocturnal animals awake to hunt and forage.
Another top experience in the Linyanti is to glide through the waterways on a mokoro – a traditional dugout canoe – where you will get to see lots of brightly colored frogs and exceptional birds. This is the perfect way to experience peace and quiet, encountering wildlife along the way.
DINING SUGGESTIONS
Enjoy your freshly-prepared dinner on the deck overlooking the Linyanti Marsh.
