Linyanti, Selinda & Kwando – Remote, Wild and Rich in Game
A vast private concession with first rate game viewing, great numbers of elephants, buffalo, lion and leopard.
The Linyanti Wildlife Reserve lies along the western edge of Chobe National Park and spans an impressive 125,000 hectares of private wilderness. This pristine concession offers some of Botswana’s most rewarding and exclusive game viewing. A mix of mopane woodland, riverine forest and open floodplains supports thriving populations of elephant, buffalo and zebra, particularly around the water channels. Predators are well represented too - lion, leopard and cheetah are regularly sighted, and Linyanti is one of the best places in Africa to encounter endangered African wild dogs in their natural habitat.
Neighbouring Selinda Reserve is slightly larger at 135,000 hectares and shares many of Linyanti’s wildlife-rich characteristics, but with a broader floodplain that provides reliable freshwater year-round. This makes it a magnet for wildlife during the dry season, especially elephants, which gather in large numbers near the Selinda Spillway.
To the south, the Kwando Concession connects seamlessly with both Linyanti and Selinda, forming a vast, protected wilderness that stretches to the Namibian border. This remote area is known for outstanding predator sightings - especially wild dogs near Lagoon Camp - and for its low vehicle density, offering truly private safari experiences. Year-round water sources attract large game concentrations, particularly in the dry months.
