We suggest 3 nights at this remote camp, in combination with other camps in the Okavango Delta, for a top notch safari.
Savuti
Camp
is
situated in an isolated part of the Linyanti
Concession along the Savute Channel in northern Botswana. The site of the camp
is about 17 kilometres downstream from the Zibadianja Lagoon - the source of the
Channel. Between 1980 and 2008 the channel stopped flowing and became an unusual
and productive ribbon of grassland that served as a corridor and feeding ground
in the surrounding woodland for a wide variety of herbivores. In 2008, the
Channel once more became a deep, clear waterway harbouring hippo and aquatic
life with myriad varieties of waterbirds. Savuti Camp is a comfortable camp
providing accommodation in 7 walk-in tented rooms with en-suite facilities. Each
room is raised off the ground on wooden decks. The camp has a thatched dining
area, bar and plunge pool, all on raised wooden decks. There is also a curio
shop and a boma area. There is a waterhole close to camp and in the dry season
this attracts large numbers of animals that guests can view from the
camp. Activities include game drives in open 4x4 Land Rovers, hides, night
drives and walks with an armed guide.
Game concentrations here are high, particularly in the winter dry season, and
apart from abundant plains game, species such as roan and sable antelope,
southern giraffe, lion, leopard, cheetah, spotted hyena, black-backed jackal and
wild dog may also be encountered. In winter, this area can also be excellent for
the sought-after aardvark and aardwolf.
