Linyanti Safaris
About
Botswana's Linyanti region is fast becoming one of Southern Africa's prime game viewing destinations. Lodged between the Okavango Delta, the Chobe National Park and Namibia's Caprivi Strip, this wild and very remote area comprises three private wildlife reserves - Linyanti, Selinda and Kwando - and access is limited to those visitors who have booked accommodation at one of the few private lodges in the region.
Once part of a great inland lake, the area is dominated by water habitats. Its wide, permanent rivers and sprawling floodplains not only support a wide range of wildlife that matches that of the Okavango Delta but provide one of Southern Africa's best bird watching destinations as well - expect many regional rarities and superb raptors.
Such an abundance of game makes a Linyanti safari a year-round option. Hippo and crocodile line the river banks, large herds of elephant and buffalo are often seen and predators are particularly well represented: all the big cats are resident and Linyanti has a global reputation for excellent wild dog sightings.
