Area Overview
Tucked along the southern banks of the Linyanti River, where Botswana meets Namibia, the Linyanti Reserve offers one of Southern Africa’s most unique safari experiences. This private concession spans 482 square miles (1,250 square kilometers) of grasslands, riverine forests, and winding lagoons. Unlike its more frequented neighbors, Chobe National Park and the Okavango Delta, Linyanti Reserve remains wonderfully secluded, ensuring close up wildlife encounters in an off-the-beaten-track setting that feels exceptionally wild.
The Linyanti River provides a vital water source that draws wildlife from across northern Botswana. During the winter months, as Diamond Season sets in and seasonal waterholes recede, animals migrate to its banks in search of water and sustenance. By October, during Amber Season, the river is teeming with game, making the Linyanti Reserve a fantastic destination for exceptional year-round game viewing.
Linyanti is a wildlife-rich sanctuary, home to vast herds of elephants and buffalo. Lions, leopards, and wild dogs roam the area, while antelope species like kudu and impala are plentiful year-round. Giraffe, warthogs, and baboons add to the diversity, and smaller mammals like jackals and servals are often spotted. Birdlife thrives here too, with carmine bee-eaters, martial eagles, and wattled cranes among the highlights.
Highlights & Activities
Exclusivity in a private concession, game drives, big cats, walking safaris, mokoro boat trips, helicopter trips, bird watching, boasts one of Africa’s highest concentrations of wildlife, alfresco dining, boma shared stories, private viewing decks, top rated industry leading guides, large herds of elephants and buffalo during peak dry season.

Area Overview
The Okavango Delta, a shimmering oasis in the heart of Botswana, is one of Africa’s most extraordinary safari destinations. Unlike most river deltas that empty into the ocean, the Okavango Delta spills into the Kalahari Desert, creating an immense network of channels, lagoons, and islands teeming with life. This dynamic, seasonally flooded landscape offers one of the most unique and immersive wildlife experiences on the planet.
The annual floodwaters from Angola arrive in May, transforming the Delta into a lush paradise. This marks the start of Diamond Season (May – September), when the floodwaters create ideal conditions for water safaris and spectacular game viewing. As the waters recede in September, wildlife from far and wide gathers at the remaining pools, coinciding with Botswana’s Amber Season (October – November).
A safari in the Okavango Delta offers both water and land-based exploration. Glide through reed-lined channels in a mokoro, a traditional dugout canoe, expertly guided by our local polers, or embark on thrilling game drives across national parks and private concessions for unforgettable adventures.
The Okavango Delta is home to an astonishing variety of wildlife, including elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, and African wild dogs. Bird enthusiasts will revel in sightings with over 400 species, including the majestic African fish eagle and the elusive Pel’s fishing owl. From hippos jostling in the lagoons to buffalo herds wading through the floodplains, this ever-changing ecosystem offers an unparalleled safari experience when it comes to animal diversity.
The Okavango Delta is more than a safari destination – it’s an experience that will remain with you for a lifetime.
Highlights & Activities
