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

A 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.Julie

Saw amazing wildlife each day of our 3 day stay. Kings Pool, Linyanti River, Wilderness Safaris
I like to fish - and the camp has a pontoon boat for river safaris - I believe generally evening river cruises....fishing rods all rigged and ready to go...doesn't take too much effort to catch something - and there are plenty of different types of fish to catch!
On land we saw hippos grazing (out of the water)....2 packs of wild dogs 18 in one and 8 in the other...successful hunts & stealing an impala carcass from a spotted hyena.....eagle owls, all sorts of hawks, eagles, bee eaters, king fishers, egrets, goliath heron, lion, elephant.
The green season makes viewing a little bit

more difficult - but the green color contrast and blossoms enhance the pictures....the private concession camp has the ability to bushwack off road and chase some sightings......not something that can be done in the national parks.The day and night time temperatures were really comfortable in early March. we were not really ever bothered by mosquitoes or any sort of bugs.
Was a great area to visit....would definitely go back if there were not so many other interesting places yet to visit in Africa!
We even got periodic cell service from Namibia across the river. I wouldnt count on this - but it was a nice surprise to be able to send/receive txts for a few minutes.

cool at night and warm during the day. Wilderness Air was great, with quick, fun flights in their well-maintained Cessna Caravan turboprop airplanes. Our trip to the Linyanti was an experience I will never forget, and I will definitely include the Linyanti on future trips to Botswana.

This is a very lush area with lagoons, swamps, alluvial islands, marshes, flood plains, riparian forests and lush inland forests. Hippos and elephants rule the area. Lots of birds of all kind.

Small quiet Camp Linyati on the Linyati channel was a beautiful oasis.
