Savuti Camp
Savuti Camp is about 30km due west of the Savuti Marsh, and the famous Savuti area of Chobe National Park. In the north, beside the Linyanti River, the environment is like the Chobe riverfront: open floodplains beside the water, an adjacent band of riverine forest, and then dense (mostly mopane) forests stretching away south.
The main lodge building is a large, open-sided, wooden structure crowned by a beautiful high thatched ceiling, and decorated with traditional Botswana basketwork and other local artefacts. A large lounge area features comfortable chairs and sofas, and a good library. The dining area, with a bar, has been turned around so that each guest has a view of the channel while they eat and a decked swimming pool, elevated above the water, offers great views.
A sizeable viewing deck overlooks a permanent waterhole (where breakfast is usually served), and where there’s a small, shaded swimming pool and sunloungers. There is also a firepit where fires are lit in the morning and evening. Wildlife can often be seen coming down to the water to drink and elephants often cross from one bank to the next not far from the main area.
All seven tented chalets (including one family tent) face onto the Savuti Channel, and provide a very private setting from where to enjoy some great views. Each tent has a deck at the front allowing comfortable viewing of the goings-on along the water way.
