Nestled amidst tranquillity, Sunday Pan Campsites offers visitors the opportunity to get in touch with the sights and sounds of nature in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, Botswana.

Overlooking the riverbed, Boteti River Camp rests at the edge of Makgadikgadi National Park, near Khumaga Village, and is within reach of Nxai Pan National Park and Central Kalahari Game Reserve. It offers a perfect escape to explore the vast open landscapes of this semi-arid area. The property features 8 en-suite chalets, mini Meru tents within the campsite area, a swimming pool, a dining area and a bar. An elevated viewing lounge overlooking the river invites you to wait for elephants or occasional zebra as they come by for a water break. For the adventurous traveller, we also have 8 campsites. Each campsite features a fireplace, water and power-points, as well as a shaded area under which they can pitch their tents. The campsite area has shared ablutions, as well as an area for washing cooking equipment.

Within the Chobe National Park, Savuti is perhaps one of the best known game-viewing areas in the country. Under ideal conditions the number and variety of animals seen can be quite staggering.

The Savuti area supports mainly Camelthorn (Acacia erioloba) sandveld, Silver Terminalia (Terminalia sericea) sandveld, scrub savanna, and mopane veld. Savuti's almost desert-like landscape with a scorching sun, loose, hot sand, animals escaping the heat by clumping together in the limited available shade, and elephants impatiently lining up to get to the ever-dwindling water supply, offer a wildlife experience so different, yet so true to Africa. It is almost impossible to imagine that this desolate, harsh landscape was once submerged beneath an enormous inland sea. Geologically the five main features of Savuti (namely the Magwikhwe Sand Ridge, the Mababe Depression, the Savuti Marsh with its dead trees, the Rocky Outcrops, and the Savuti Channel) are all intricately linked in the most fascinating manner.

Chobe National Park, with its diverse and striking landscapes, will be your next destination. As you continue your search for wildlife, you will traverse the drier region of Savuti where bull elephants dot the plains. You will then head northwards to the Chobe River where your game drives will meander along the banks of the river, followed by the call of the majestic African Fish Eagle. Camping will be in private designated areas with bush ablutions.
