Linyanti and Savuti Safaris
Wild Waters
of Linyanti & Savuti
Nestled between the Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park, the Linyanti and Savuti regions offer an unparalleled safari experience. Bordering the southwest of Chobe National Park and just north of the Okavango Delta, Linyanti and Savuti form a natural link between these iconic areas. This remote wilderness, a mosaic of swamps, marshes, woodlands, and grasslands, creates the feeling of truly being out in untouched, wild Africa.
Wildlife moves freely through this expansive, remote wilderness, which hosts an incredible diversity of animals. Predators such as large prides of lion, wild dog, spotted hyena, and leopard roam the area, alongside prey ranging from wildebeest and buffalo to zebra and elephant. The abundant birdlife present throughout the year enhances the excellent game viewing opportunities.
While Chobe is renowned for its elephants and the Okavango Delta is famous for its labyrinth of waterways, Linyanti and Savuti have their own claims to fame. The natural spectacle of the world’s second-largest overland migration occurs here, with thousands of zebras migrating from Linyanti to Savuti from November to December, in anticipation of the rich new grazing grounds brought on by the summer rains.
In this remote natural beauty, every safari is a journey into the heart of wild Africa, where predators and prey enact ancient dramas against a backdrop of stunning landscapes. From the legendary elephant-hunting lions of Savuti to the serene waters of the Linyanti River, Linyanti and Savuti offer a truly unique and captivating safari experience.
