Savuti Camp

Wildlife in the area includes all of Botswana's big animals and is one of the best areas in the country to see predators.

Savuti camp is built about 17 kilometres 'downstream' from the source of the Savuti.

The channel stopped flowing in 1980 and what was a Hippo-filled river, is now wide, open grasslands

Savuti Camp is located on the Savute Channel in an isolated part of the Linyanti Concession.
The site of the camp is about 17 kilometres ‘downstream’from the Zibadianja Lagoon –the
source of the Channel. Since it stopped flowing in 1980 what was a hippo-filled river is now a
grassland and a legendary predators’enclave. In the dry season, the waterhole in front of camp
is the only source of water over a large area and therefore offers excellent wildlife viewing.
This intimate camp’s en-suite accommodation is in seven large walk-in tents that are
raised off the ground and face onto the grasslands of the Savute Channel. From the camp’s
thatched dining area and pub, a plunge pool and large viewing area with fire pit extend
outwards on raised wooden decks towards the Channel, providing a wonderful view of the
waterhole. Activities on offer are day and night game drives, nature walks with a guide
(on request), and several well-positioned hides for safe, up-close animal viewing. Game
concentrations are high, particularly in the winter dry season, and apart from plains game,
species such as roan, sable, giraffe, lion, leopard, cheetah and wild dog may be encountered.
