Botswana Safaris: Linyanti 5 night Special

Itinerary at a glance

Day 1 – 4     Linyanti Walking Safaris, Chobe Enclave

On your arrival to the private airstrip on the concession, you will be met by your guide and start your walking safari to your first night’s camp.

This is a mobile tented camping safari experience focused on walking within the private concession in the Chobe Enclave. Distance walked each day will vary depending on the capabilities of the guests and what their interests are with many stops for water, picnic breakfasts, lunches and many interesting sightings along the way.  Each day the camp may move, dependent on where the wildlife action is. This is an adventure safari for those that seek to explore the wild and remote wilderness area on foot. Close-up safe encounters on foot of elephant, buffalo and lion are not uncommon in the hands of the best professional guides whose first passion is to interpret and bring to life every aspect of the bush. Accommodation is in stand-in spacious meru style tents of 3x4m (9x12ft) with comfortable beds and en-suite private bathroom facilities.
The Linyanti area is best known for its large populations of Elephant and buffalo that congregate in vast numbers especially during the dry season. Lion, sable, roan, leopard, wild dog, and a number of the plains game can be enjoyed at Linyanti. The rare and elusive sitatunga antelope, red lechwe, hippo and crocodile can be found in the surrounding marshes.

Day 4 - 6     Linyanti Bush Camp, Chobe Enclave

On the last morning of the walking safari, you will walk to Linyanti Bush Camp where you will spend the next two nights.

Linyanti Bush Camp is a small, intimate 12 bedded tented camp on the banks of the Linyanti marshes in a private reserve, which borders the western boundary of Chobe in the Chobe Enclave. The camp is limited to small exclusive groups who seek a personalized experience in a private concession away from the main tourist’s routes. Activities from the camp consist of game drives, walking, spot lighting and hides. This safari camps provides the perfect atmosphere for an authentic and wild safari experience.

The Linyanti Swamps are one of the most attractive areas in the park as it is the only source of water in the dry months where a lot of the wildlife moves to, boasting a great diversity of game and a restful atmosphere. The area's relative remoteness makes it a favoured wild safari destination and one of the best sought after areas in Northern Botswana. The area also offers spectacular birding all year round and is best known for its enormous herds of elephants which move down to the Linyanti River at the start of the winter months and only move back inland once the main rains arrive.
