Linyanti Ebony Camp

Get back to nature in a pure wilderness adventure setting on a life-changing Botswana mokoro safari at Linyanti Ebony Camp in the Okavango Delta, way up north in the awe-inspiring Linyanti and Savuti Wetlands Region. This region is known as the Chobe Enclave and you can experience an exquisite 10-bedded tented camp built on raised decking overlooking the biodiverse Linyanti Marsh. 

It’s an outdoor destination where mokoro excursions, game drives in open 4×4 vehicles, walking trails with professional guides, and boating and fishing jaunts on lily-covered lagoons bring a unique riverscape up close. See crocs, hippos, buffalo and elephants from the water level, a new visual and connection to nature. Eat, breathe and sleep tranquillity in a private concession – value-for-money packages and unforgettable service standards.

There are only 4 exclusive tented chalets, some for families, and intimate service in a water and grassland setting. Linyanti Ebony Camp is named after the huge old ebony trees that grow here, offering dappled shade as you sit and dine on the deck while bird-watching. The blend of wet and dry landscapes allows for prolific wildlife and general life so get to know the ecosystems of the marsh system and how they feed the rest of the Okavango Delta. 

Traditional tents remain elegantly furnished with enough space for double beds, sofas, desks and tea and coffee stations, a lovely ensuite bathroom beside. Open the tent to allow the breezes in and make sure you visit in the cooler months when the animals are easier to see as they congregate around the water sources. 

Linyanti Ebony Camp is one of our favourite family-friendly camps where children are ever welcome and can join in the Ngwana Club environmental education activities – nature walks around camp, arts and crafts, cooking lessons, birding and much more.
