Kwando & Linyanti
Why holiday in Kwando & Linyanti?
Between Chobe National Park and the Okavango Delta are the extensive Kwando and Linyanti concessions. These privately managed, pristine wilderness areas share physical similarities with the Okavango Delta, the Kwando River filling the Linyanti Swamps that fan out to create picturesque water channels and lagoons.
During the dry season months of May to October, the Kwando and Linyanti Rivers provide a permanent water source that attracts migrating herds of wildlife including buffalo, elephant, wildebeest and zebra. Giraffe, impala, kudu and waterbuck are present too, alongside predators such as lion, hyena, leopard and cheetah. The mysterious Savute Channel, an unpredictable water channel that floods then dries up and can remain without water for decades, links Linyanti with neighbouring Chobe National Park.
There are a number of small camps and lodges in these concessions, offering an exclusive wildlife experience.
