Activities
Scenic Helicopter flight (Seasonal)
A half-hour scenic helicopter flight is included when you stay 3 nights or more at Linyanti Bush Camp from April to November. Experience the pristine wilderness from a bird’s-eye vantage before you land for a picnic in the middle of the marshes.
Mokoro Safaris
Traditionally, the Mokoro was the only form of transport through the waterways. Sail through the rivers and tributaries with our River Guides in a dugout canoe, savouring those moments of peace, and encounter an incredible variety of wildlife along the way.
Unlike the traditional Mokoros which are made from indigenous trees, to conserve the environment we model our Mokoros out of fiberglass. Mokoro Safaris are available when water levels permit.
Bird Watching
The area offers spectacular birding all year round. With its mixed habitats comes a good variety of bird species. Linyanti birding is excellent, making it one of the biggest attractions on an Okavango safari.
Walking Safaris
Awaken your senses and discover all that the bush has to offer when taking part in a walking safaris. Guided walking safaris are for guests 16 years and older and are led by our qualified and passionate walking guides who share their knowledge and love of the bush.
For a full day walking safari, a private walking guide will need to be pre-booked with us.
With the dry vegetation between May and October, walking safaris are a fantastic and exciting way to experience the area. Since your safety is our first priority, walking safaris are usually conducted when the bush is not too thick and our guides are armed at all times.
Game Drives
Morning, afternoon and night game drives are offered in open 4×4 vehicles. Linyanti is best known for it’s large populations of elephant and buffalo that congregate in vast numbers especially during the dry season.
