At Linyanti Expeditions, the boundary between indoor and outdoor living is beautifully blurred, inviting you to immerse in the magnificence of the African bush.

After a day of adventure, find peace in serene nooks designed for relaxation and reflection. 

Linyanti Expeditions comprises six luxury tents, each with their own Star Suite. The Star Suite is a gazebo extension with a bed, giving you the enchanting experience of sleeping under a canopy of stars while enjoying the comfort and security of a mesh-enclosed space.

    TEN THOUSAND STARS (out of a maximum of five ;-)) 

    My husband and I had originally planned 5 nights at Linyanti Expeditions Camp followed by six nights at Khwai Ladiba Camp. We enjoyed Linyanti Expeditions so much that after only two nights at Khwai, we turned right back around (yes, we left the pool and endless hot water indoor and outdoor showers) and went back to Linyanti for our last three nights in Botswana. We cried when we arrived back in camp. Why? We had the very best guide anyone could wish for in Bae. She taught us so much about tracks, trees, birds, and all kinds of animals *AND* we got to see wild dogs making a kill, a cheetah, a leopard, a family of lions and their cubs, elephants, wilder beat, buffalo, hippo’s etc. Every day was a new adventure with no expectations, and frankly, the whole experience was more than we had ever imagined it could be. It’s true that herds of elephants and lions and many others come by in the night. Every camp team member was super welcoming, and there was surprise and delight around every corner. Linyanti is down-to-earth, relaxed, and friendly, yet extremely professional, and we felt like part of the family. The singing and dancing are next level! The other guests we met at Linyanti were also a joy to be with. We feel incredibly grateful that we got to know and learn more about the people at Linyanti Expeditions and Botswana in general. For us, our time at Linyanti was a life-defining experience. ABC Expedition Camps are an exceptional experience, and we plan to return.

    Wonderful African Experience 

    Linyanti Expeditions was the second camp on our 12-night Botswana Safari and gave us a very different experience to our stay in the Central Kalahari and the Delta. 
    We saw large buffalo herds, lots of elephants and giraffes and a leopard on a night drive. Coming across a big (4 or 5 meters) southern African python was both exciting and a little scary. Other animals we saw were zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, ostrich, hippo and so many more. We heard lions & hyenas but didn’t see them. 
    A must do is the Mokoro. Very peaceful and is a relaxing way to see another side to the African bush. 
    Our guide, Max, was great as well as good company. 
    The tents were more than comfortable, and the communal areas were well set out with good views across the marsh. The food was delicious (best of our trip). The staff were very friendly and their enthusiastic singing on our last night was a highlight.

    Our Favorite Safari Spot!

    Wow! Just got home from our stay with African Bush Camps and Linyanti was by far our favorite stop! The area is absolutely gorgeous, with plentiful animals and wildlife. We saw lions, herds of elephant, hundreds of zebras, etc. Plus, we enjoyed the fact that we were the only guests in the concession so there was really a feeling of remoteness ! In other locations, you will be one of 10+ vehicles surrounding an animal. In Linyanti, you really feel you are ‘out there’.

    The camp itself is beautiful, rustic yet has every comfort you need. We loved sleeping under the stars on our last night. Special shout-out to Max who was simply the BEST guide and knows the landscape so well, plus was very accommodating to the interests of my husband who is a birder. And thank you to Obie, the hostess, who made our stay so comfortable. The service and hospitality here is a 10/10.

Our Foundation Projects

Female Guides Training

Women from communities in Botswana do not have access to the same career opportunities as safari guides, compared to their male counterparts. This career is still largely a male-dominated one, with little active investment, training, or skills development in female guides that would empower them to pursue their dreams and provide for their families. Linked to this dynamic, there is also a scarcity of job opportunities currently available for female guides in camps in the area.

Primary School Disability Unit

Kachikau Primary School Disability unit currently accommodates about 32 students with disabilities from the villages in Chobe, Botswana. The unit provides schooling, accommodation, and daily meals for the learners. The school infrastructure was ill-equipped to support learners with special needs as it lacked basic infrastructures such as wheelchair ramps and paved walkways. This made it increasingly difficult for learners using a wheelchair to move around the school premises.

Basket Weaving Project

The Vuche Vuche Basket Weaving Project aims to empower women from the local community through basket weaving. This initiative creates employment opportunities whilst displaying Botswana’s heritage and culture through beautiful crafts. Baskets are for sale at ABC trading posts, and guests can visit Vuche Vuche to learn basket weaving and experience traditional dances.
