Footsteps across the Linyanti (Linyanti Walking Safaris)

This is a mobile tented camping safari experience focused on walking within the private concession in the Chobe Enclave, part of the Linyanti. This is an adventure that will awaken you to the heart beat of Africa and its true wilderness.

The distance walked each day will vary depending on the capabilities of the group and their interests.  There are many stops for water, picnic breakfasts, lunches and many interesting sightings along the way.

The average day's walk is about 5 miles. The camp may move, dependent on where the wildlife action is, though it is more commonly static.  The camp has a maximum of 3 tents, so caters to no more than 6 people at a time, and the minimum age is 16 yrs.

The Linyanti area is best known for its large populations of elephant and buffalo that congregate in vast numbers especially during the dry season.

This really is an incredible experience for anyone who wants to get much closer to the African bush.

Itinerary

  • Open Panel 

Duration: Minimum 3 nights

The emphasis of this experience is guided walks on which you will be able to explore and learn about the bush and the wildlife. We also use mokoros (dugout canoes) too. 

Travelling slowly in these ways, you really do get a feeling for the African bush. You will look at tracks, checks, start to understand animal behaviour, learn about the trees and the environment ...

We don't give an exact itinerary, as the daily activities are very much geared to the interests of the guests and what is going on in the area at the time.

Pricing guidelines for Botswana

  • Open Panel 

We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.

International flights will add from about £700 to £1000 depending on the season and route (unless the airlines have special offers). Botswana combines well with Zambia and South Africa.

 

For each accommodation on this website you will find an indication of the price. The bands are based on the price per person per night at peak season and are represented by the following values for this country:
£

  £50 to £150
