Linyanti Safaris

Roaring lion in Linyati

Linyanti safari would take you to the area made up of the stretch of country along the Kwando and Linyanti River and the Linyanti swamps as well as the Selinda Reserve. If you want wilderness, look no further!

Key highlights are...

  • Huge wildlife concentrations in the dry season.
  • Remote and uncrowded
  • Abundant predators
  • Excellent wild dog country
  • Good cheetah country

The Selinda Reserve is a 300,000 acre /135,000 hectare private wildlife sanctuary straddling both the Okavango and Chobe systems in northern Botswana. Its vast floodplains and ancient forests offer an authentic and timeless African safari experience, but what makes this reserve so special, is it’s exclusivity.

Within this massive wilderness, a maximum of 8 game viewing vehicles is allowed at any one time - a truly exclusive experience. The reserve is one of the best places in all of Africa to view the highly endangered African wild dog, especially while they are less nomadic when they come to Selinda to den and raise their young. This is the area where some of the lions have developed a technique - and a penchant – for preying on Hippo.

The Kwando concession lying west and north west of the Selinda Reserve is one of the largest private safari areas in Africa. The Kwando River forms the eastern boundary giving the concession over 80km (250 miles) of exclusive permanent river frontage, with abundant hippo and crocodiles.

This concession, well known for its huge elephant and buffalo herds, has one of the highest concentrations of these large mammals in Africa. Predators are abundant with large numbers of lion, wild dog, hyena, leopard and cheetah. Over 300 different bird species have been recorded to date. Open grasslands and pan systems abound with impala, lechwe, steenbuck, reedbuck, wildebeest, buffalo, giraffe, tsessebe, kudu, zebra, water buck, sable, roan and eland to name a few.

News

Well, those who will be visiting Botswana's Okavango Delta in the next few months are in for a treat! Every year this magnificent wonderland gets inundated by flood waters originating from the highlands of Angola. The waters arrive at the top or "panhandle" of the Delta in about January and get to the "end" of the Delta in June or so.

I came across African Odyssey website quite by accident but I have to say that in the ten months it took for me to finally decide on the itinerary (not his fault but my indecision), I really felt I had found a friend. His expertise and knowledge of South Africa was complete a...
