Destination Information The Chobe National Park, Botswana , Savuti


Savuti, The Chobe National Park, Botswana


Often described as one of, if not the best, wildlife-viewing area in Africa today. Savuti boasts one of the highest concentrations of wildlife left on the African continent. Animals are present during all seasons, and at certain times of the year their numbers can be staggering. If you allow yourself adequate time here (a minimum of three to four days is recommended) you will probably see nearly all the major species: giraffe, elephant, zebra, impala, tsessebe, roan, sable, wildebeest, kudu, buffalo, waterbuck, warthog, eland and accompanying predators including lion, hyaena, jackal, bat-eared fox and possibly even cheetah and wild dog.

Savuti is famous for its predators, particularly its resident lions and spotted hyaena populations. Sometimes you will have them uncomfortably close, as both they and marauding hyaenas do wander through the campsite. Almost certainly you will hear lion at night.

One of the greatest mysteries is the Savuti Channel itself, which has over the past 100 years inexplicably dried up and recommenced its flow several times. The present dry period started in 1982.

The Savute Safari Lodge situated on the banks of the Stolen River is a luxury Lodge accommodating just 24 guests in 12 superbly designed and elegantly furnished Safari Suites,
Savuti has an excellent new Government campsite. Lying 172 kilometres southwest of Sedudu gate, TheSavuti Safari Lodge ground overlooks the Savuti River channel, which is currently dry. Geographically, Savuti is an area of many unknowns.
