A Botswana safari is one of Africa’s top experiences for visitors. Vast tracts of wilderness in pristine condition are home to huge herds of game, roaming unrestricted between the Kalahari’s plains and the waterways of the Okavango. For those who enjoy the wilds, a Botswana safari holiday is perfect at Linyanti,
Located just to the west of the famous Savute Marsh of the Chobe National Park, the Linyanti Wildlife Reserve is one of the best examples of Botswana’s high-end private reserves. The game viewing on offer here is simply superb, with an abundance of predators, as well as large concentrations of elephant and buffalo. When you add in the fact that the Linyanti is home to some of the most exclusive lodges in Africa, you have one of the continent’s finest safari regions
With its network of private ‘concessions’ dotted with just a handful of small, well-designed safari lodges, Botswana safaris offer near exclusivity. Whether watching lions stalk their prey, or taking a magical mokoro trip along narrow, reed-lined channels, you are unlikely to come across any other visitors. The game rarely disappoints, the birdlife can be spectacular, and night drives are a compelling further option

Itinerary
DAY 1 - 3 | WILDERNESS CHITABE | OKAVANGO DELTA | BOTSWANA
Wilderness Chitabe’s location places it at the heart of a complex and beautiful mosaic of habitats, and this diversity results in Wilderness Chitabe being one of the most storied of all Botswana’s areas. Experienced, passionate guides are inspired by the intricate and dynamic landscapes to deliver wildlife experiences few other locations can match.
Eight elevated, meru-style guest tents provide the perfect human habitat, while a stroll along the elevated walkways connecting them to the main area is a safari experience in itself. Day and night drives, and guided walks, showcase the varied wildlife and landscapes of the Okavango.
DAY 4 - 6 | WILDERNESS JAO | OKAVANGO DELTA | BOTSWANA
In the heart of the Okavango, luxurious Wilderness Jao is set amongst islands fringed with riverine forests and vast floodplains with prolific wildlife. Shaded by a canopy of trees, the five spacious suites and two ultra-luxe villas offer en-suite facilities with both indoor and outdoor showers. Expansive views from the private sala at each suite make for a sumptuous setting for afternoon siestas.
Customized luxury guest suites and two ultra-luxe villas share Jao Island with the spectacular main area which features a pool, a library, and an outdoor boma for evenings of traditional food, song, and dance. The views of the night skies over Wilderness Jao cement its place in the safari firmament as a star among equals.
