Warning. This type of safari is not for everyone. If you are disturbed by being woken in the middle of the night by lions calling next to your tent, or the calling of hippos throughout the night, or elephants making themselves at home in your campsite, then this safari is not for you. But, if you are like me, and love the thought of sleeping in the middle of the African bush (without fences ), then this is the trip of a lifetime.
Our first night, we had hippos passing by our tent, and elephants quietly snapping branches beside us. I'll admit, even though I've done these type of camping safaris before, it still takes a night to reaclimatize to the sounds of the bush. And to be woken in the morning by a lion calling directly behind my tent? AMAZING! The scenery is great, and the sightings top notch. The only one of the big 5 that is sadly absent is the Rhino. But definitely worth going. We stayed at Linyanti adventure tented camp, and the staff there were amazing. Our guide

Francis, supplied by Wilderness safaris, is one of the most experienced guides I have ever met. He has superhuman tracking skills, and his quiet, confident manner had us all relaxed and happy. I was only in Linyanti for 3 days (of a 10 day camping safari), but they were an amazing 3 days that will never be forgotten.

I rated the scenic beauty lower than the other characteristics, just because it doesn't have the lushness and beauty of areas like Moremi and Chief's Island in particular.

In particular one of the best areas for herds of very large male elephant.
