Linyanti Tented Camp experiences

On morning game drives, watch the floodplains come alive with unreal interactions between predator and prey. Sit quietly in the log-pile hide and watch the wildlife approach; hundreds of buffalo and elephants moving along the Linyanti’s waterways. Scan for nocturnal creatures on an evening drive; bushbabies, genets or a serval, then end the day around the campfire.
