We recently stayed here for a total of 3 nights, this is by far the best site we’ve stayed on. If you value peace and tranquility with first class facilities and customer service this is the place for you. On clear nights we sat under the stars gazing into the sky. Can’t wait to return back soon.

Well the website is nothing like the reality. There are no more tented camps here, closed since Covid and you can see the place is starting to fall apart. The only option here is camping. There are 5 campsites looking out over the marsh and river. We were there during the drought in July. Not much water around. That said loads of elephants and hippos and hundreds of buffalo. This is a completely un fenced area so expect elephants to wander through your campsite. Water here is non potable and there is no electricity, so you need to be self sufficient.

After our bad experience at Campo Savbuti this was such a pleasure. Well run but simple small camp in a fabulous position by the river. Lots of game, clean ablution blocks, shade and the manager (plus staff) was very helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

What a beautiful and hidden place this is.

On the Linyanti river or swamp as they call it.

Has furnished tents and private camping spots. We had a really nice spot with a view of the river and the hippos.

Basic but neat sanitary facilities.

Great camp. The staff was very accommodating. I'm a vegetarian and they went out of their way (without being asked) to ensure that I had plenty of food options. Loved waking up to the sound of wild animals right outside my tent.

We spent 3 nights at Linyanti. It was a wonderful place to stay to see the animals. We saw everything we wanted to see and more. The birds were also a treat and unexpected. The views from your tent over the delta are wonderful. Staff was terrific always wanting to make your stay great. While we are staying in tents, these tents are permanent and very nice.

Linyanti was our last and final camp site in Botswana and we couldn't have chosen a better place to close out this truly amazing holiday. What a beautiful view over the river. Literally hundreds of elephants, hippo's buffalo's and even 2 lions. There's not much more you can ask for.
The only thing we didn't like at all was the road coming from Savuti. We didn't get stuck but you really need balls to get through it :)

We stayed in Camp Linyanti (campsite, not tented lodge) for three nights. The drive from Ngoma Bridge is quite stenuous with some (partly long) deep sand passages. I recommend self drivers not to go for that adventure alone but with at least two, better three cars (high clearance 4WD) and at least one driver with good offroad / sand experience.

Linyanti camp location is like a part of heaven on earth, with few people, lots of animals and beautiful views on the Linyanti river and swamps. We had pretty relaxing days as you do not need to drive a lot to see animals. You have elephants, Kudu, Impala, Baboons, etc. basically in the camp. Nevertheless, evening drives along the 10km stretch of river covered by the NP are great as you see loads of animals, partly very close.

The only disappointment was the infrastructure at our campsite. As one site was obviously flooded and broken earlier in the year we got just a small site without any of the normal infrastructure that is provided at the other sites. For 50USD per person per night, which is very expensive for a campsite, we would have expected more. At least they are about to construct a new sanitary block (the old one was clean but hot water was unreliable (gas heater) and one night we had to ask 4 times until they pumped water into the empty tank).

Considering the comfort, good accessibility and much better value for money that you now get in the Mamili NP just accross the river in Namibia, SKL should really make a move. The rating here should be top and not just OK, considering the paradise location that they have!

An absolute 'Eden' at the end of a long road - but that made it all the more special. Impeccable service and a setting that was spellbinding in its beauty.......hope they don't make it bigger or develop it further as its exclusivity was part of the charm

We stayed here as part of our honeymoon during September 2014. This camp was quite a bit more basic than our previous camp in the Delta, but my husband and I were only ever two of four guests which was quite a treat (one day it was just us!) and for us was worth the trade off in terms of tent accomodation. As the camp was so remote (which we thought was a good thing) it was also a lot less busy than where we had stayed in the Delta and as a result we had some pretty special encounters with elephants crossing the river when no-one else was there. Our guide (OP) was also superb and really knew his stuff. - best guide we had in the whole of our time in Botswana. All of the staff were extremely welcoming and friendly and the food was also very good considering you were in the middle of nowhere! We would definately return here if we went back to the Linyanti area of Chobe for sure.

Room Tip: All of the tents are overlooking the Linyanti River. Tent two gets the baboons!
