Savuti Camp is situated in an isolated part of the Linyanti Concession along the Savuti Channel in northern Botswana. The site of Savuti Camp is about 17 kilometres 'downstream' from the Zibadianja Lagoon - the source of the Savuti Channel. The Channel stopped flowing in 1980 but in 2008 once more became a deep, clear waterway harbouring hippo and aquatic life with myriad varieties of waterbirds. It is impossible to say yet whether the waters will persist or begin to recede in earnest as much of this will depend on the next summer rains - but while it lasts, at Savuti Camp there are front-row seats for each drama that is played out.

With two-thirds of the Savuti Channel located in the concession, Savuti Camp guests have private and exclusive access to the abundant game and the natural and geological changes that occur there on a daily basis. 

This intimate camp's en-suite accommodation is in seven large walk-in tents that are raised off the ground and face onto the Savuti Channel.  From the camp's [cont.]

thatched dining area, a plunge pool and large viewing area with fire pit extend outwards on raised wooden decks, providing a wonderful view of the Savuti Channel and its wildlife.

Explore the Savuti Channel and its environs through day and night game drives, nature walks with a guide (on request), and several well-positioned hides for safe, up-close animal viewing.  Savuti Camp's former 'wood-pile hide' in front of camp is now part of the flowing Savuti and famous for spectacular elephant viewing in the drier winter months.

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, which are big ticks on anyone's mammal lists!
