Camp Linyanti
In the furthest corner of Chobe National Park lies the forgotten paradise of Linyanti. Secluded and uncrowded, the Linyanti is characterized by a diversity of habitat that makes it a haven for wildlife. Open grasslands and waterholes along the Savuti Channel and along the Linyanti River, with mature woodlands (mopane and leadwood forests) inland.
The Linyanti Swamp covers an area of almost 900km2, to which follows the river and fills the area between the converging courses of the Kwando and Linyanti rivers. The national park only touches the river for a short section on the far eastern edge of the swamp.
Linyanti has a small camping ground, 39 kilometres northwest of Savuti, among tall riverine trees overlooking the perennial Linyanti River. This is generally a quieter camp as it is off the main tourist circuit, and for those seeking a remote and peaceful environment Linyanti is the place to go.
The area has a large wildlife resource with a wide variety of species, but it is most noted for its very large Elephant populations, which can reach enormous densities during the winter months. There are good populations of Impala, Lechwe, Kudu, Zebra, Giraffe, Sable, Waterbuck, Buffalo and the smaller plains antelope. The major predators such as Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, Wild Dog and Hyena are regularly sighted. The reed and papyrus swamps are ideal for numerous and diverse species of birds and are a magnet for game in the dry winter months.
Camp Linyanti is a permanent campsite adjacent to the public campsite offering guests a home away from home. Five permanent luxury walk in safari- tents equipped with all the comforts: 2 comfortable beds, linen, blankets, pillows, and towels with en-suite bathroom with a shower and toilet. Guests will be able to relax and unwind in the comfort of their safari tent or in the main lounge area. Meals will be served in the dinning room or in the open court yard (weather permitting).
Guided activities are offered, with the focus on game drive activities.
