A protected wildlife area with a limited number of lodges, offering exclusivity. Linyanti is renowned for its predator activity – see lions, wild dogs and cheetahs, often as they hunt.
The Linyanti region is located to the north of the Okavango Delta, adjacent to Chobe National Park and takes in some of Botswana’s best private reserves – Linyanti, Selinda and Kwando.
These wetland reserves are fed by the permanent water of the Kwando-Linyanti river systems as well as the Savute Channel and Selinda Spillway, acting as a magnet for wildlife making this an extremely game-rich area.
A variety of habitats from mopane woodlands, ancient floodplains, palm forest islands and open savannah are home to large concentrations of elephant, and the area is particularly well known for its active predators.

Yet the countless, clattering journeys opened my eyes to the beauty of the landscapes and the grace of the people. My recent trips are undoubtedly more comfortable, but the welcome is as warm as ever and the best experiences are still those I never see coming.
