Description
Linyanti is a remote wilderness region along the Linyanti River in northern Botswana, renowned for exclusive safaris amid largely untouched landscapes. The area’s private concessions are known for low visitor densities and exceptional opportunities to observe African wild dogs and large herds of elephants. During the dry season, wildlife gathers around the permanent waterways, lagoons and wetlands, creating particularly rewarding viewing conditions. Depending on the concession, activities may include game drives, night drives, walking safaris and boat excursions. Linyanti combines outstanding wildlife with a strong sense of seclusion and wilderness, making it one of Botswana’s distinctive safari destinations.
