The Linyanti Reserve have great concentrations of Elephants and thousand of zebra who spend the dry months from May to November along the Linyanti River (which is later named the Chobe River), then gradually move south to the Savuti in expectation of good gazing brought on by summer rains.

Beautiful horned antelopes - Sable and Roan - roam the grasslands, while Red Lechwe and aquatic Sitatunga Antelope are found in the wetlands.

The main predators are lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog and hyena. Birdlife is abundant here and particularly vocal with a magnificent dawn chorus.
