Location
Botswana / Africa
-18.522812, 23.581661
Linyanti Wildlife Reserve, North-West District, Botswana.
NEAREST AIRPORT
Nearest access is Kasane International Airport (BBK) or Maun Airport (MUB) depending on your flight routing.
Guests fly by light aircraft to a regional airstrip in the Linyanti, then transfer by road about 40 minutes to camp. Kasane is often best for international arrivals.
BEST TIME TO VISIT
May to September
From June to October, the Linyanti is at its most dramatic. Cooler dry-season mornings make for comfortable game drives, water levels in the river channels concentrate wildlife around lagoons and floodplains, and visibility improves as vegetation thins. Elephants and buffalo gather in huge herds, predators follow, and both land and water-based activities are at their peak.
