The Camp

Location: Linyanti Reserve/Chobe Enclave, Botswana
Number of Tents: 6

Bordering the western boundary of Chobe in the Chobe Enclave, Linyanti Bush Camp is an intimate 12-bedded tented camp on the banks of the Linyanti marshes in a private reserve. The camp is limited to small, exclusive groups who seek a personalized experience in a private concession away from the main tourist routes. Accommodation at the Linyanti Bush Camp is far from primitive with spacious tents, comfortable beds, and en suite bathrooms with flush toilets, fixed showers and hot water. A tented main lounge and dining area provide a place to gather at family-style meals with friends, family or other like-minded guests. Enjoy refreshments around the campfire before and after dinner.

Wildlife Viewing & Activities

The Linyanti area offers spectacular birding all year round and is best known for its large herds of elephants that move down to the Linyanti River at the start of the winter months and only move back inland once the main rains arrive. Lion, sable, roan, leopard, and wild dog are also frequent visitors to Linyanti as is the elusive sitatunga antelope, red lechwe, hippo and crocodile. Activities from the camp include game drives, walking safaris, game viewing from hides, spot-lighting, bird watching, boating and fishing safaris as well as guided mokoro safaris, when water levels permit. From April through to November every guest staying a minimum of three nights will be taken on a half-hour scenic helicopter flight as part of their experience.

The below chart helps to illustrate major wildlife sightings often experienced in the Linyanti Reserve adjacent to the Chobe National Park. This area is well known for elephant herds, which are at their peak in the drier months of July to October, and it's a great location to track wild dogs and see lion. A variety of other mammals, birds and reptiles may be seen as well. Exact sightings will depend on weather trends and wildlife movements.
