Wilderness Linyanti Tented Camp is ideal for families and small groups looking to explore this wildlife-rich concession. Unrivalled in its remoteness and sense of space, the camp overlooks the iconic Linyanti Marsh.
Eight large, airy tents recreate an explorer-type style, while the two main areas are on a slightly raised deck. Game drives and full-day excursions with lunch at remote picnic spots enable fuller exploration of the varying habitats, including the river, floodplains, open dry-land savannah and woodland.
Booking sole use of the camp is no longer a prerequisite, however, sole use remains possible to book, subject to availability.
INSIDER'S TIP: Look out for large herds of elephants that congregate along the waterways of the Linyanti River and floodplain in front of camp.
The camp sits on the banks of the Linyanti River, tucked under tall riverine trees. It comprises two small satellite camps (East and West), each of which has four large, airy en-suite explorer-style tents.

Morning and afternoon game drives offer the chance to witness compelling interactions being played out in the wild. Wildlife includes the rare roan and sable antelope, while plains game are prevalent and of course their predators, including lions, leopards and hyaenas – with the endangered African wild dog as an incredible bonus. Excellent birding.
Explore after dark with spotlights allowing you to find some of the less familiar species which are not active during the day. Perhaps lesser bushbabies, large spotted genets, aardwolf or serval.
Learn about tracks and signs, fruits and roots on a guided walking safari. A bush walk is a wonderful way of being close to nature, and gaining insights on the smaller fauna and local flora
* Weather permitting and subject to the availability of a qualified walking guide.
The log-pile hide, a short drive from camp, lets you watch the wildlife "rush hour" – especially in the dry season when large numbers of elephant move through the area.
