About Linyanti Concession
The Linyanti Concession is one of Botswana's most exclusive safari areas — a pristine wilderness along the Linyanti River bordering Namibia's Caprivi Strip. This private concession offers some of the finest game viewing in Africa with virtually no other visitors. The Linyanti wetlands support massive elephant herds, healthy populations of wild dog and lion, and one of Africa's most spectacular concentrations of painted wolves. With only a handful of luxury camps sharing the entire concession, Linyanti epitomizes the Botswana model of exclusive, low-impact safari tourism at its finest.
