4x4 Vehicle (Dry Season Only)
During the dry season (May to October), it is possible to reach Linyanti with a 4x4 vehicle, but it is a challenging journey that requires experience and careful planning. The roads are sandy and rough, and it is essential to have a reliable vehicle and good navigation skills. From Kasane, take the A33 towards the south. After approximately 60km, turn west onto the Chobe Forest Reserve. Follow the signs to the Mababe Gate, which is the southern entrance to the park. From Mababe Gate, continue north towards Savuti and then onto Linyanti. Park entry fees are approximately $20 per adult per day for international visitors, plus a vehicle fee of approximately $5 per day. Campsite fees within Linyanti range from $50 to $70 USD per night. Be aware that fuel is not readily available within the reserve, so it is essential to carry enough for the entire journey.
