Savuti & Linyanti Explorer

About this journey

The Linyanti and Savuti regions represent some of the last truly wild places in Africa — vast, remote wilderness areas that most safari travellers never reach. This exclusive 7-day safari takes you deep into these legendary landscapes, where predator-prey dynamics play out on an epic scale. The journey begins in Kasane, gateway to northern Botswana, and ventures first into the Linyanti Concession — a 125,000-hectare private wilderness bordering the Linyanti River and Namibia's Caprivi Strip. This area supports one of Africa's largest populations of wild dogs, alongside large prides of lions, healthy leopard populations, and herds of sable and roan antelope that are rarely seen elsewhere. The Linyanti River itself attracts massive concentrations of elephants during the dry season, with herds of several hundred gathering at the water's edge. From Linyanti, continue south to the Savuti Channel in Chobe National Park, one of Africa's most intense predator environments. Savuti's lion super-prides are renowned for their ability to take down adult elephants — a behaviour documented in numerous wildlife films. The mysterious Savuti Channel, which has alternately flowed and dried up over the decades, adds an element of geological intrigue to the wildlife spectacle. Both destinations feature exclusive luxury camps with all-inclusive service, ensuring that the refinement of your accommodation matches the raw power of the wildlife encounters outside your tent.
