Linyanti Sunset

Linyanti Marsh, Chobe National Park, Botswana

Chobe National Park, in northern Botswana, has one of the largest concentrations of game in Africa.
By size, it is the third largest park of the country, after the Central Kalahari Game Reserve and the Gemsbok National Park, and is the most diverse. It is also the country's first national park.
The Linyanti Marsh, located at the Northwest corner of Chobe National Park and to the North of Savuti, is adjacent to Linyanti River.
To the west of this area lies Selinda Reserve and on the Northern bank of Kwando River is Namibia's Mamili National Park.
Around these 2 rivers are riverine woodlands, open woodlands as well as lagoons, and the rest of the region mainly consists of flood plains.
There are here large concentrations of lions, leopards, wild dogs, Roan antelopes, Sable antelopes, hippopotamuses and above all enormous herds of elephants.
The rarer red lechwe, sitatunga or crocodile also occur in the area. Birdlife is very rich here.
