A body of water that historically joined the Okavango river, via the Selinda Spillway to the Linyanti.

A week in the Linyanti and Okavango Delta
We kicked off this year with another Botswana adventure to the infamous and incredibly beautiful Linyanti and Okavango regions. Crystal clear swamps, rolling floodplains and shaded woodlands were just some of the amazing terrain we explored.
