Linyanti Wetlands, Botswana

Savuti Camp

We love this camp! It is tiny with only 7 rooms. The elephant hide at the waterhole is legendary. It is elephant heaven. With the first waters to flow on the Savute Channel for 20 years coming in 2006, we are excited to see the game habitat only improve.  — Mango's view

Savuti Camp is situated in the Linyanti Reserve along the Savuti Channel in northern Botswana. The camp is built about 17 km "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 a comfortable camp providing accommodation in 7 large walk-in tented rooms with ensuite facilities. Five of the bathrooms are within the tents and two tents have bathrooms with wonderful open fronts facing onto the Savuti Channel.

Each room is raised off the ground on wooden decks. The camp has a thatched dining area, pub and plunge pool, all on raised wooden decks. There is a waterhole close to camp and this attracts large numbers of animals that guests can view from the camp.

Activities include game drives in open 4 x 4 Land Rovers, hides, night drives and walks with an armed guard. Game in the area includes all of Botswana's big game, and is one of the best areas in the country to see predators. There are good concentrations of game in the area year round.
