Six tents on the Savute Channel in the private Linyanti Wildlife Reserve, run by Wilderness. Despite the name, and despite travel sites that file it under Chobe National Park, it is outside the park: Wilderness itself places it 'within the Linyanti Wildlife Reserve', west of the park's Savuti section. That matters for what you can do, because concession rules apply here. Wilderness lists game drives, birding, a hide, a sleep-out deck and a seasonal nature walk. The rate covers meals, local drinks, laundry, two activities a day and park fees, and from January to March 2027 it is the cheapest of the Wilderness camps in the Linyanti.

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Chobe National Park charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryP270 a day for non-residents, roughly $20 at P13.5 to the dollar.
- $20per person, per day
- VehicleP115 a day for a foreign-registered vehicle, roughly $9 (P30 for a Botswana-registered or hired car).
- $9per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $147 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.

Rates checked on 4 October 2026, per person per night sharing, from each property's own website or rate sheet where one is published. Desert & Delta, Belmond, &Beyond, Bush Ways, Machaba and several Kasane lodges publish none, so those figures come from two resellers, chobe.com and the Siyabona network (safari.co.za), and are marked as a reseller rate; the houseboat and Ichingo figures from chobe.com are in South African rand. SKL's campsite table is undated. Kwando Safaris, African Bush Camps and several smaller lodges publish no rates at all. Park entry is P270 per non-resident per day for a private visitor and P190 on an operator's activity, and many Kasane packages leave it out, so check what your rate includes.
