Chobe National Park
Situated at the northwest corner of the park and to the north of Savuti, the Linyanti Marsh is adjacent to the Linyanti River.
The Linyanti region within Chobe National Park remains a rarely explored expanse in this distant wilderness. An accurate depiction would be “The concealed sanctuary within Chobe National Park.”
Its seclusion might contribute to the genuine feeling of untouched wilderness that envelops you upon visiting this area. In contrast to other parts of Botswana, the presence of camps and lodges is sparse and widely dispersed.
The Selinda Reserve lies to the southwest of this area, while Namibia’s Nkasa Rupara National Park is situated on the northern bank of the Kwando River. Surrounding these two rivers are riverine woodlands, open woodlands, and lagoons. The remaining part of the region is mainly composed of flood plains.
About the campsite:
The five well-spaced campsites all overlook the Linyanti River. Each is equipped with a braai (BBQ) stand, a cold water tap, and a dustbin.
Additional amenities of the campsite include:
Spacious centralized restroom facilities for both ladies and gentlemen, inclusive of hand basins, showers, and toilets.
Wildlife:
Noteworthy inhabitants of this area include substantial concentrations of lion prides, leopards, African wild dogs, roan antelopes, sable antelopes, hippos, and herds of African bush elephants. The area is abundant in bird diversity.
Between the Linyanti and Savuti Marshes extends a hot and arid hinterland, primarily occupied by the Nogatsaa grass woodland. This section is relatively less explored and provides an exceptional opportunity for observing elands.
From Savuti Camp to Linyanti Camp:
The road from Savuti to Linyanti is ONLY 39 km; however, it contains some of the worst sand you can imagine, resulting in an expected journey time of 3-5 hours.
