Savuti, also known as Savute lies in the heart of Botswana’s beautiful Chobe National Park. This dynamic wilderness is a sweeping expanse of savannah brooded over by several rocky outcrops which guard a relic marsh and the dry channel that was once its lifeline. The Savute goes through wet and dry cycles, where wild dogs hunt in the dry river channel where crocodiles swam only twenty years ago. Visitors to this spectacular area can spot abundant wildlife including: a variety of birds, elephants, antelope, lion prides, black-backed jackal, bat-eared foxes, tsessebe, kudu, hyena, cheetah Cape buffalo herds, and thousands of migrating zebra and wildebeest.
Situated in the northeastern part of Botswana among a massive territory of national parks, reserves and conservation areas, the Nogatsaa area inside Chobe National Park boasts stunning wild scenery and an array of animals. The remote landscape, characterised by open grasslands, pans and waterholes, is scattered with lookout hides where visitors can see hippos, crocodiles, elephants, impalas, water buffalo, reedbucks, gemsboks, roans, the rare oribi antelope, and baboons, as well as a huge variety of birdlife. There are wonderful game viewing opportunities, which can be enjoyed easily on foot, four-wheel drive, or by boat. After a thrilling day of African adventure, visitors can cool off at lodge pools, hear traditional stories around the fire (boma), and do some first-class stargazing in the crystal-clear night skies.
