Savuti, part of the Chobe National Park, is a legendary safari destination known for its stark, dramatic landscapes and fascinating wildlife dynamics.
The Landscape: Characterized by a vast, open savanna and the remnants of the Savuti Channel, known for its mysterious, intermittent flow. The landscape is dominated by the Gubatsa Hills, a series of rocky outcrops.
Wildlife Highlights: Famous for its large, resilient elephant populations and prides of powerful lions. It is one of the best places in Africa to witness predator-prey interactions, including lions hunting elephants or buffalo. Other common sightings include zebra, hyena, and a variety of antelope.
Key Feature – The Marsh: The dry bed of the ancient Savuti Marsh is a prime game-viewing area, scattered with dead trees, providing a photogenic backdrop and attracting wildlife to the scattered waterholes.
Why it’s Special: Savuti’s raw, untamed beauty and the relentless struggle for survival between its large predators and mega-herbivores offer a truly wild and unforgettable safari experience.
