Safari Experience

The Linyanti Wildlife Reserve in Botswana, is located in an area of pristine wilderness situated North of the Okavango. Fed by the Kwando River, the Linyanti Swamp is the heart of the reserve; it attracts one of Africa’s largest Elephant populations, as well as many other animals.

The area is renowned for its predators and game which migrate to the Linyanti River during dry winter months and disperse into the vast wilderness after the first rains.

For years the Linyanti region was the playground of colonial hunters. Today most of the area has been taken over by photographic safari operations. Uncontrolled hunting resulted in many species being wiped out. With the end of hunting, the area is returning to its former state and is proving to be one of Africa’s most under-rated wilderness areas.

Among the Linyanti wildlife, the area is renowned for its Elephant population, predators, antelope and amazing birdlife.

Linyanti Safari in Botswana

The Linyanti region is formed by the Kwando River that flows into Botswana via the Caprivi Strip of Namibia. Rising in the highlands of Angola, the Kwando River flows through Zambia and the Caprivi Strip of Namibia before becoming the Linyanti where it forms an Okavango-type swamp along the border of Namibia and Botswana.

Like the Chobe riverfront, Linyanti was affected by the war of liberation in Namibia. The difference is that Linyanti was set aside as a hunting area – and has only recently returned to a non-hunting area and thus the animals are moving across part of their old migration route. Today Linyanti is proving to be one of Africa’s most under-rated wilderness areas. Made up of three regions, Kwando, Selinda and Linyanti the Linyanti is fast becoming one of Botswana’s main drawcards.
