The Linyanti and Kwando river systems in northwest Botswana are home to four iconic private reserves (Linyanti, Selinda, Kwando and Chobe's private area) which harbour some of the biggest concentrations of predators and large mammals in Africa. These reserves offer wilder, more exclusive safaris on par with the neighbouring Okavango Delta. This is high density predator central – the lion population is flourishing, leopard numbers are high and cheetah manage to eke out their niche. Endangered wild dogs are usually found denning in these reserves from June to August.
