Wilderness Linyanti Tented Camp
Overview
Highlights
- Intimate and wonderfully private safari-adventure camp for families and small sole-use groups.
- Set within an important elephant corridor, with access to floodplains, open dry-land savannah, lagoons and woodland.
- Thrilling plains game and predators including lions, wild dogs, leopards, and hyenas.
- Evokes the spirit of a true African safari in the wild and remote Linyanti Wildlife Reserve.
Destination: Set on the iconic Linyanti Marsh, Wilderness Linyanti Tented Camp is perfectly positioned for exploring the extraordinary Linyanti Wildlife Reserve. Unrivalled in its remoteness and sense of space, the reserve is bordered by two legendary watercourses – the Linyanti River to the north, and the sporadic and unusual Savuti Channel, to the south.
The camp offers easy access to a combination of rich habitats, ranging from floodplains to open dryland savannah, woodlands, and lagoons – all magnets for big game and birdlife, which guests can encounter on thrilling day and night game drives, and guided nature walks.
Experience: Remote, exclusive and authentic, the camp delivers action-packed adventures. Guests can encounter huge numbers of buffalo and elephant herds all along the channels. Track predators on the prowl on game drives, and learn more about the wildlife on a guided nature walk with our knowledgeable guides. Back in camp, guests can soak in the views from the pool deck, or spy wildlife from the tucked-away log-pile hide.
As evening sets in, the crackling campfire on the soft sands of the riverbank is the ideal spot for a family or small group to reminisce over this exclusive and unmatched safari experience.
Purpose: Wilderness Linyanti Tented Camp's aim is to extend the positive effects of conservation tourism into more remote areas. It supports several research projects to ensure the continued protection of the area's pristine wilderness, home to some of Africa’s most iconic wildlife.
Wildlife: Exceptional game viewing awaits all who visit this untouched tract of wilderness, famous for its huge elephant concentrations, when herds congregate along the waterways during the dry winter months. Other fascinating wildlife includes specials such as rare roan and sable antelope, waterbuck, and the predators that follow – lions, leopards, African wild dogs, and spotted hyenas.
Wilderness Linyanti: Unrivalled in its remoteness, the camp overlooks the Linyanti Marsh and floodplains – and ensuing wildlife parade. It is the perfect camp for families and small groups looking for a private safari adventure.
Its eight spacious, airy en-suite tents hark back to the time of the early explorers. Built on a slightly raised deck, the camp’s main area offers striking views of the wildlife, and is ideal for quiet relaxation. Guests can savour a delicious Botswana feast, cooked on an open flame and served under the African stars in the popular boma dining area, while listening to the marsh’s night sounds come alive.
Guests will marvel at the seamless interconnectedness between river, land and wildlife in the camp.
