Linyanti Ebony Camp

Linyanti Ebony rests within Botswana’s private Linyanti Wildlife Reserve, a wild buffer west of Chobe National Park famed for sweeping floodplains, riverine woodland, and mopane forest. The camp overlooks the Linyanti River system, a dry-season magnet for elephant and buffalo, while predators patrol the marsh edge. Being on a private concession enables flexible activity timings and after-dark drives not allowed in national parks. Access is typically by light aircraft from Maun or Kasane to a nearby airstrip, followed by a short game-drive transfer—your first chance to meet the reserve’s prolific wildlife.

With only four tented suites—one a two-bedroom family unit—Linyanti Ebony feels genuinely personal. Canvas-and-thatch structures sit on raised wooden decks, angled for views across the floodplain. Interiors blend classic safari textures with practical comforts: quality beds, bedside lighting, ample storage, and en-suite bathrooms with flushing toilets and hot showers. Each tent opens to a private veranda for arm-chair game viewing between activities. Air cooling and ceiling fans help on warmer afternoons, while thoughtful touches—charging points, tea/coffee trays, and soft furnishings—make the space as restful as it is close to nature.

The heart of camp is an elevated, open-sided main area combining lounge, dining space, bar, and a broad viewing deck that spills out to a convivial fire circle. A small plunge pool offers welcome relief in the heat of the day, with uninterrupted looks onto the floodplain. Meals mix regional flavors and fresh ingredients, served communally or privately on request. The guiding team anchors the experience—planning flexible activities around wildlife movements and guest interests. Low-impact build and materials maintain a light footprint while keeping the comforts today’s travelers expect on a premium tented safari.
