Fly by light aircraft to Chobe (Linyanti/“Chobe 1”) Airstrip, flight time is about 45–55 minutes from Maun and 45–50 minutes from Kasane, depending on routing and any en-route stops; no self-drive access. From the airstrip, it’s ~35–40 minutes by road to camp
Request a far-end suite for maximum privacy and uninterrupted Osprey Lagoon views; families should consider the dedicated family unit for extra space and a private plunge pool
Daily changing, seasonal menus with bush breakfasts, deck lunches and boma nights; lagoon-side “barge” meals run when water levels permit. Think contemporary pan-African plates with plenty of grilled game, fresh salads and artisanal baking, paired with a considered, mostly Southern African wine list.
Neutral layers for day/night temperature swings, a light down or fleece (winter Jun–Aug), wide-brim hat, polarized sunglasses, high-SPF sunscreen, and binoculars (8x–10x). Soft-sided luggage only. Wilderness also provides eco-amenities and mosquito repellent, so you can pack lighter.
Don’t miss a slow cruise or barge brunch when water levels allow; it’s quintessential Linyanti. The Savuti Channel’s source near camp is superb for hides and night drives; plan at least three nights to experience land and water activities. Peak predator/elephant viewing is typically June–October.
Wilderness works with KAZA partners to keep cross-border wildlife corridors open, supports Linyanti elephant research and collaring, and runs a local tree-nursery reforestation project near DumaTau/King’s Pool to rebuild native habitat.
