Savuti Camp is situated in an isolated part of
the Linyanti Concession along the Savute Channel in northern
Botswana. In the 1980s, the Savute Channel, deep, clear and
harbouring hundreds of hippo and aquatic life, dried up, due to
shifts in the Linyanti Fault system. What remains is an unusual and
productive ribbon of grassland that serves as a corridor and feeding
ground in the surrounding woodland for a wide variety of herbivores.
An exciting development has been that in recent years the Channel
has 'flowed' along varying distances of its length.
Savuti Camp is situated about 17 kilometres 'downstream' from the
Zibadianja Lagoon - the source of the Channel; in the dry season the
waterhole in front of camp is the only source of water over a large
area and therefore offers excellent wildlife viewing.
This intimate camp's en-suite accommodation is in seven large
walk-in tents that are raised off the ground and face onto the
Savute Channel's grasslands. From the camp's thatched dining area
and pub, a plunge pool and large viewing area with fire pit extend
outwards on raised wooden decks towards the Channel, providing a
wonderful view of the waterhole.
