Luxury Safaris in Linyanti made for you
Journey through Linyanti’s floodplains and woodlands, observing elephants, big cats and abundant birdlife
Outstanding game viewing and exclusive lodges
Sitting north of the Okavango, land-based luxury Linyanti safaris are on a par with those of its more famous neighbour. Lagoons and steadily flowing rivers with riverine forests of jackalberry and sausage trees lead to open grasslands and dry inland wooded areas which are regarded as prime Big Game viewing areas.
Large predators such as lions, cheetahs, leopards, wild dogs, and hyenas – as well as large herds of buffalo, elephant, zebra, red lechwe and sable, roan and aquatic sitatunga antelopes – have made the area their home. Serval and bat-eared foxes are also to be found and the region is a premier destination for birdwatching safaris in Linyanti, boasting an abundant variety of birdlife that gives rise to a magnificent dawn chorus.
The private reserves of the area help to protect and conserve the wildlife ‘corridor’ between the Okavango and the Linyanti river systems.

When to visit Linyanti
For peak wildlife viewing, visit Linyanti in the dry season from May to October, when the animals congregate at water sources. It’s a great time to see elephants and predators. For lush greenery and excellent birding, the green rainy season from November to April is ideal. The zebra migration takes place from February to April.
