Tented Camp

Linyanti Reserve, Botswana

Authentic Wilderness Encounters at Linyanti Tented Camp

Perched along the edge of the wildlife-rich Linyanti Marsh, Linyanti Tented Camp is a hidden gem in northern Botswana that offers travellers a truly immersive and remote safari experience. With just four tented suites spaced generously apart, the camp promises privacy, comfort, and uninterrupted views of the floodplains, where elephants roam and predators patrol.

This off-grid escape sits within the vast, private Linyanti Wildlife Reserve, an area known for its seasonal elephant migrations, high predator concentrations, and incredible birdlife. Game drives and guided bush walks are led by highly experienced guides who reveal the intricate workings of this diverse ecosystem, from lion prides and leopard sightings to the delicate balance of wetland and woodland habitats.

The camp is solar-powered, unfenced, and built with a light environmental footprint, allowing guests to experience nature in its purest form. Days begin with fresh coffee by the fire and end with lantern-lit dinners beneath star-filled skies, as nocturnal sounds of the bush come alive. The team ensures a warm, personalised stay, with thoughtful touches that make every moment special.

With its stripped-back luxury, eco-conscious ethos, and exceptional guiding, Linyanti Tented Camp is best suited to travellers seeking a deep connection with nature, far from crowds or distractions. Whether you’re an avid wildlife enthusiast or simply craving silence and space, this remote outpost delivers the magic of Botswana in its most authentic form.

Thank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip. The transfers went smoothly, the accommodation was excellent, the drivers were amazing as they manoeuvred through the traffic and every tour guide had a great deal of knowledge and information. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The contrast of poverty and riches of the country was striking, from the beggars in the street and struggles of the poor to the spectacular, impressive sights of the forts and monuments. There were so many highlights. A moment in time that will never happen again.

Exellent and wonderful, reaching way above expectations.

We wanted the opportunity to see as many wildlife parks as possible and the Classic Safari Company provided an action-packed itinerary that included six, with 11 tiger sightings and nine leopard. This was overlaid with an introduction to Jaisalmer, Jaipur and the 'real' India. Pench and Panna were the hidden gems of a really great trip, very well organised, seamless and enjoyable. As a solo traveller I felt incredibly safe at all times. I want to go back!

Mark Taylor
