Linyanti Savuti

Introduction

This prime Big 5 safari area is on the southern banks of the Linyanti River, where the Savute marsh subsides into lagoons and steadily flowing rivers with riverine forests of jackalberry and sausage trees. It is a prime game viewing area covering almost 5000 sq km in the south west of Chobe National Park. It is here that some of the best wildlife documentaries have been made for National Geographic by Derek and Beverely Joubert. The Savuti region covers an area approximately 5000 sq km in the south west of Chobe National Park and became well known with the drying up of the Savuti Channel in the early 1980s. Even more so, it is known as an incredible game viewing paradise. The Savuti Channel started flowing again after 30 years.

Need To Know

How to get there

Most safaris in Botswana start and end at either Maun Airport or Kasane Airport. Daily scheduled flights operate between Cape Town/Johannesburg and Maun and on certain days there are flights between Johannesburg and Kasane. 

Best time to visit

The Dry Season is between (May to October) and this is generally considered the best time to visit the Linyanti. This period offers excellent wildlife viewing opportunities as animals gather around permanent water sources, making them easier to spot. The vegetation is also less dense during this time, improving visibility. However, keep in mind that this is the peak tourist season, and the reserve can get crowded. Whatever time of the year you visit, Linyanti Savuti is a truly special place that offers something for everyone. Whether you're interested in wildlife, adventure, or simply soaking up the breathtaking beauty of the landscape, the Linyanti is a must-visit destination in Botswana.
