All about Kalahari Plains Camp
Set in the 125 000-hectare Linyanti Concession bordering Chobe National Park, Linyanti Tented Camp is the ideal base from which to explore this wildlife-rich area. Unrivalled in its remoteness and the sense of space that it affords, the concession is bordered by two iconic water courses – The Linyanti River to the north and the sporadic and unusual watercourse of the Savute Channel to the south.
The camp is in a diverse area which is an important elephant corridor. Wildlife includes the rare roan and sable antelope, while plains game are prevalent and of course their predators, including lion, hyaena, and leopard – with the endangered wild dog as an incredible bonus. Excellent birding.

Accomodation
Linyanti Tented Camp comprises two satellite camps, each with its own main area. The eight large, airy tents recreate an explorer-type style, while the main area is on a slightly raised deck. Wildlife movements can be seen at the log-pile hide – especially in the dry season when large numbers of elephant move through the area. Situated next to one another, Linyanti Tented (East) and Linyanti Tented (West) can be sold as two separate camps or together as one larger camp. Although Linyanti Tented (East) and Linyanti Tented (West) are set up as two separate camps, Wilderness reserves the right to consolidate bookings in one or other camp due to numbers and if deemed appropriate. Unless sole use has been booked and charged for, East or West cannot be confirmed - only Linyanti Tented Camp
