The Linyanti wetlands form the western boundary of Chobe National Park, a system of marshes, floodplains, and seasonal lakes fed by the Linyanti/Chobe river system. The area is adjacent to the Kwando and Linyanti private concessions and is among the least-visited parts of a park that is itself not overrun. The wildlife here — particularly wild dogs, roan antelope, and sable antelope species less common in the Chobe riverfront area — is excellent, and the absence of day-trippers from Victoria Falls gives the experience a different character.
The Linyanti marshes are accessible by 4WD or fly-in camp from either Kasane or Maun. The drive from Kasane through the park interior takes most of a day; most visitors fly in to private airstrips serving the high-end concession camps. Self-catering camping is not widely available in this part of the park.
The seasonal flooding pattern makes the Linyanti particularly productive in the dry season (June–October), when animals converge on the permanent water. The bird life is exceptional year-round, with the marshes hosting large numbers of wading birds, pelicans, and birds of prey. Pel's fishing owl — one of Africa's most sought-after rarities — is reliably seen in the riverine forest along the Linyanti.
