Luxury holidays in Linyanti Wildlife Reserve

In northeastern Botswana, along its border with Namibia and encircled by the Chobe National Park, you’ll find the Linyanti Wildlife Reserve. With Big Five sightings a likely affair between May and October, this uncrowded safari region gets game drives spot on. And if you’re looking for all-season staples, over 450 smaller species and star-blanketed skies are your goosebump-giving guarantees.

When to go

May to October is this reserve’s dry season and comes with the highest likelihood of wildlife sightings. Twitchers will be in their element from November to April, when birdwatching is at its peak.

Getting there

  • Planes

    Most international flights touch down in Maun or Kasane. From there, you’ll have to catch a chartered plane for around 45 minutes to one of the reserve’s private airstrips.

  • Automobiles

    You can reach Linyanti Wildlife Reserve by road, but it’s a rough and rocky route, so if you’re braving the journey we’d suggest a 4WD. Most camps offer ground or air transfers, which will likely be your preferred option.
