Linyanti Wetlands

Many camps in this area specialise in family safaris, which means that they understand the need for not only family tents and specialist guides but also private vehicles to ensure more flexibility in your itinerary.

Although the minimum age limit is generally six years old, some camps have no age limitations, and all camps have activities designed to appeal to each generation. For children of 12 years and up, canoe trips in dug-out mokoros are a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in this wild place, as are the short guided safari walks and horseback safaris. And activities aren’t exactly limited for younger children, who can prepare to take home stories of game drives, river safaris, helicopter rides and hot air balloon rides.

And the best thing? Your family’s visit will directly support conservation so that this pristine natural space will be protected for years to come.

Whilst the Linyanti Wetlands can be visited all year around, peak wildlife viewing times tend to overlap with the Okavango Delta. This is another reason why the Wetlands are a popular addition to any luxury Botswana safari itinerary. Between June and October, the rains have stopped, and the flood waters fill each river and marsh, bringing wildlife and water activities.

However, the Summer months (November to March) are a favourite with birders from around the world, who come for the migratory birds and green, lush landscape due to the rains.
