Why safari here?
It is the route's clearest expression of the Chobe-Linyanti system and a core wildlife corridor within the wider Kavango-Zambezi landscape.
When to go
Dry-season access is generally more dependable. High water can transform the landscape and cut off low areas, so current information is essential.
Gateway & getting there
Follow the public access branch from near Sangwali to reception, then return on the same road before continuing to Katima Mulilo.
Typical visit
A self-sufficient four-wheel-drive visit planned around current flood, road, and park conditions rather than a fixed urban timetable.
