CHOBE & LINYANTI
AFRICA | CHOBE & LINYANTI
The Linyanti is an area in northern Botswana of intricate riverine systems and mopane woodland, which, together with Chobe National Park, forms an important wildlife corridor. During the dry season from June to October, the Chobe and Linyanti regions feature some of the highest concentrations of elephant on the continent!
While Chobe is a famed safari destination, it’s proximity to the Victoria Falls and the convergence between Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe can make it somewhat busier, but the adjacent Linyanti, further upstream, offers a superb safari experience while retaining a higher level of exclusivity.
