Linyanti Bush Camp

The elevated central area, with its lounge, bar, dining and communal meeting areas, has comfortable furniture that just beckons you to settle down with a book from the well-stocked bookshelves, or simply to take in the wide view of the surrounding marshes and Linyanti River. The atmosphere is old-style colonial, with an eclectic collection of artefacts from across Africa decorating the room. After dinner, cross the deck and head downstairs to enjoy chats and drinks around the crackling camp fire.

There are six very large and comfortable Meru-style tents, each sensitively sited so as not to obstruct the views from the others. Reed mats cover the floors, hardwood furniture has been polished to a gleam, large sleigh-style beds make sure you'll sleep well, and the en-suite bathroom offers a shower and hot running water. Outside, you can watch the passing parade from your private seating area.

At Linyanti Bush Camp, day and night game drives take priority, showcasing an impressive diversity of wildlife, including the many predators of the region. Mokoro and boating trips to investigate the uinque aquatic wildlife as well as smaller mammal species. Keen anglers can fish from the boat for tilapia and other freshwater species. Walking safaris with armed and wild-smart rangers offer truly up-close-and-personal encounters. These excursions sharpen the senses and offer the most in-depth look at the Linyanti ecosystem. This camp is well known for it high-quality guiding, and is an Important Bird Area, especially waterfowl and birds of prey.
