The Linyanti Wildlife Reserve is 125,000 hectares of pristine wildlife area bordered by the Linyanti River in the north and the Chobe National Park in the east. Across the Linyanti River northwards lies Namibia's Caprivi Strip.
Because of its remote location, this region is one of the least visited - but it is definately a worthwhile addition to anyone's Botswana itinerary, as the entire area is renowned for its reputation as one of the best dry game-viewing areas in Africa.
There are large concentrations of wildlife all year round, including great herds of elephants, buffalo and zebra. Other species include giraffe, impala, roan, sable, wildebeest, kudu, waterbuck and eland.
As a result of the abundance of plains game in particular, the predators are also out in force - including lion, wild dog, hyena and even cheetah.
The birdlife is also prolific, and water birds, especially pelicans, are found here.
