One-of-a-kind experiences
The lush Okavango Delta is the largest inland delta in the world, and supports a huge diversity of game. The river splays out into snaking waterways and floodplains, creating a fertile habitat for the diversity of wildlife that lives there. Placed next to the Okavango is the Moremi Game Reserve, which is thought by many to offer the best game viewing in Africa. When finished with activities in the lily covered, wide-open plains and forests of the Okavango and Moremi, venture to game rich Linyanti Reserve.
If you’re looking to avoid National Parks whilst still benefiting from incredible wildlife sightings take your family to the Linyanti Reserve, an enormous private tract of bush known for its large elephant population and exciting routine sightings of lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog hyena and antelope.
