Linyanti
Tented Camp is situated in the exclusive, Linyanti Wildlife
Reserve in Northern Botswana. It is located to the east
of Kings Pool and close to the western boundary of Chobe
National Park. Linyanti is built in a secluded area of the
125,000 hectare reserve. The region's key feature is the
Linyanti River and marshes, which are complemented by the
contrasting dry woodlands inland. Massive lagoons and steadily
flowing rivers abound with papyrus and phragmites. The heavily
forested riverine fringes blend into dry countryside further
inland, away from the river. The camp sleeps a maximum of
eight guests in five comfortable tents, all with en suite
facilities (hot and cold running water, showers and flush
toilets). The dining area and pub area are also under canvas.
The camp has the rustic charm of an old~style safari camp
with a great atmosphere and feeling of intimacy.
This area is best known for its enormous herds of Elephant,
which move down to the Linyanti River at the start of our
winter months and only retrace their steps inland once the
main rains arrive. Sable and Roan Antelope occur, as well
as Lion, Leopard and Wild Dog. The marshes are home to Red
Lechwe, Sitatunga, Hippo, Crocodiles and wonderful birdlife.
Moving along the fringes of the waterways, guests can see
Kudu, Zebra, Buffalo, Waterbuck and Impala. These are varied
and include game drives, both by day and by night in open
4x4s, game and bird walks, canoeing in stable "Canadian"
canoes on the large lagoons and boating on the smaller waterways.
Everything possible is on offer!
