Great Bush Camp!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 06 Oct 2019via mobile
My fiancé and I loved our stay at Linyanti Bushcamp! We enjoyed that this camp felt remote, but great accommodations. The tent was nice, had a couch, bathroom, and nice room. It wasn’t overly fancy, but very comfortable. The lodge was very nice and had a great view of the marsh where we often saw herds of elephants and buffalo. The food was excellent, and never went hungry! We really felt at home here. The staff was so nice and friendly, especially Lebo, she was great!

Our guide Des was amazing! He’s into photography and taught us a lot, as well as made sure we got great photos (good angles, lighting). We really enjoyed our game rides. We saw lots of elephants and buffalo, large herds. We saw lots of zebra, hippo, impalas, etc. while there wasn’t a pride of lions that had claimed that territory there are some that come through often and we were lucky to see male and female lions, and mating as well! Maybe they stuck around! Saw leopard as well.

We stayed 3 nights and got a 30 min helicopter ride with Liam, which was AWESOME! Such a great way to see the terrain and animals.

This might have been one of our favorite stops on our 3 week trip, just great overall experience.

Thanks team Linyanti for a great experience!

We stayed at the new Linyanti Expeditions sister site for our honeymoon and had an incredible visit. The location is beautiful, with incredible sunset views across the Linyanti marshes into Namibia. Wildlife sightings were great, from lions and leopards to huge herds of elephants, buffalo, and antelope. The camp is understated but tasteful with a great fire pit area and a nice screen patio area in the rooms. Most importantly, the guiding was fantastic and the service and food were top notch. We had very knowledgeable guiding on daily drives, night drives, and even a walking safari to the airport on the final day. Would love to come back!

We were overwhelmed by the hospitality at this camp. The atmosphere was relaxed, fun and very enjoyable. The drives were impressive. Food and beverage delicious. Tent was well appointed. The range of activities kept us busy and interested. It went by much too quickly. The hostess Lebo, our guides, Des and Gilbert, our pilot, Liam, and the entire staff created the trip of a lifetime for us. It was difficult to leave and we already miss the entire team. ❤️

Everything about Linyanti Bushcamp was exceptional. Staff, food, accommodation, thrills, it was just perfect. It’s a small camp with a big heart. James, also known as 007 went out of his way to find the best game and made each bush drive exciting and informative, Lebo was just the most helpful host you could wish for, always smiling, ready to help with anything and Yum Yum was an excellent chef, how such delicious food is produced in the middle of the bush is a miracle ! We had the best holiday and totally recommend it.

Room tip: All rooms had good views, very comfortable beds, very hot water all the time, and very clean.

3rd of 4 camps we used and second one from African Bush Camps. Enjoyed the consistency of their program at different camps, but each has its own charm. The neat thing about Linyanti was the diversity of environments in close proximity as well as the varied game. James 007 was our guide and did an amazing job tracking and finding the game. We weren’t constrained by roads - James took us everywhere. We loved the experience - you just have to let James take you on the adventure!

Lebo (we called her AAA), our host, and all the staff were wonderful. Meals were done as a group and as we stayed 3 nights we also got a complimentary 30 minute helicopter tour. Not an insignificant value if you price the out (thanks, Liam, enjoyed talking to you in camp too).

We stayed at 2 African Bush Camps and would say they were our best true safari experiences overall.

The little safari camp that has it all, comfortable accommodation, tasty food, excellent staff and lots of wildlife. Great views from the Boma that looks across into Namibia. Animals big and small are plentiful including an elephant that came into camp twice, buffalo ran by the boma one evening and cute little squirrels and birds that try to join us at meals. Our guide Des found many animals for us to see and photograph, even a caracal. Des also took great care in finding the best angle for photos and gave us many helpful hints.
Back at camp Lebo made sure we were well taken care of. She is indispensable and a joy to meet. She makes sure you get the most for your time there be it a mokoro ride, helicopter ride (if you are there for three nights) or a walk on the wild side.
Linyanti Ebony is a smallish safari camp big on personality, guest care and comfort and an all around joy to visit.
