Linyanti Bush Camp News

Linyanti Bush Camp continues to be the place of big herds of buffalo, it is not uncommon to see over five hundred buffalo on one of our game drives. They graze peacefully across the Linyanti marsh towards the river in the mornings and make their way back by the afternoons creating clouds of dust which filters the afternoon sun creating spectacular sunsets.

The two Linyanti Cheetah seem to be on a roll with killing Kudu cows, however they are constantly chased off their kill by the three male lions that rule the area.

Recently we thought world war III was on the brink when all night, the lions roared and growled filling the night sky with deeply etched echoes that any deaf person could have heard. There was a clash between the local males and two other incoming males from the Chobe, north of the concession area. It is always incredible to see how much these well sought after cats will go through to fight and defend at all costs their territories – it is even better to experience the roaring sounds at night where silence and tranquillity has no chance, because with the commotion, all the other animals are on edge, avoiding to be a victim of survival of another species.

The resident leopard continues to pick the odd baboon off the trees in the back of camp, we suspect that she may be pregnant and will be having cubs soon.

We have also seen in the area a mother cheetah and two cubs, but very wary and possible in search of an area far from the dominating lions and hyena, which is very tough in the Linyanti.
