Immerse yourself in a mesmerizing, near-virginal wilderness just west of Botswana's Chobe National Park - the Linyanti Marsh.
Guests are met at any location of their choice in either Johannesburg or Pretoria and are transferred to O.R. Tambo International Airport for a flight to Maun in Botswana . From Maun, guests will take a light charter to the Linyanti safari area. This 125 000 Ha wilderness area lies to the northwest of Chobe National Park. The prolific waters of the Kwando River which nourish the Linyanti Swamp lure thousands of elephants and migratory wildlife in the wet season. The afternoon is devoted to your first safari activity one of Africa's most remote and untouched wilderness areas.
The days are devoted to land and water based safari activities led by knowledgeable local rangers and trackers. The Linyanti safari area lies wedged between the Chobe National Park , the Okavango Delta, and Namibia's Caprivi Region. The area rivals the Okavango Delta in terms of the number of species that can be viewed and is widely regarded as an exceptional birding destination. The regions habitats consist of riverine woodland, open grassland and drier woodland inland from the rivers and waterways found in the area. Linyanti is an excellent year-round destination, but the months from June to October will yield better game viewing, for, during these months, large numbers of animals migrate to the wetlands in the area from the surrounding dry woodland.
A last morning safari activity is followed by breakfast. Guests then fly to Maun and board a connecting flight to Johannesburg. Guests are met upon arrival at O.R. Tambo International Airport from where they will be taken to any location of their choice in either Johannesburg or Pretoria after an unforgettable safari in one of Africa's most remote wilderness areas .
