Overview of the suggested Botswana safari lodges and activities:

This itinerary will take you to arguably two of Botswana's best all-round private reserves - the Linyanti and Vumbura concessions. They are two wildlife-rich areas within the Linyanti and the Okavango Delta, and they are both visited on this 6-night safari.

We use a thrilling mix of luxury camps offering both land and water-based activities. You’ll first travel to the Linyanti Reserve, specifically to Savuti Camp. Next up, you’ll stay three nights at Little Vumbura Camp, a YZ favourite that’s situated on a private island.

Once you’ve arrived at Savuti Camp, the wildlife appreciation begins, via vehicle and walking safaris, boat trips, and star-bed sleep-outs. Little Vumbura also offers guided day and night game drives and walks, in addition to mokoro excursions, and even helicopter scenic flights!

Days 1–4 THE LINYANTI

Buffalo, Wilderness Savuti Camp, The Linyanti, Botswana

Savuti Camp is a classic safari property, situated on the banks of the Savuti Channel and within a private concession. Whether the Savuti Channel is flowing or even when dry, this camp gives you front-row seats to the untamed drama that unfolds here. Once you’ve flown into Botswana, you’ll head to the Linyanti reserve for three nights of wildlife viewing. Highlights of the Linyanti include four of the Big Five – lion, leopard, elephant, and buffalo – in addition to cheetah, hyena, jackal, wild dog, hippo, giraffe, wildebeest, zebra, and a fine assortment of antelopes. And birders can scan the skies, woods, and waters for fish eagle, saddle-billed stork, lilac-breasted roller, and many other species. The activities consist of expertly guided game drives, night drives, star-bed sleep-outs, and viewing from hides, as well as seasonal boat trips, guided walks, and catch-and-release fishing. Keen photographers can even make use of the camp’s ‘Photo Hub’, to review and edit their snapshots.
