3 DAY SAFARI - 3 NIGHTS SAVUTI AREA OF CHOBE

DAY 1 TO 4 SAVUTI

​

Today we start our safari driving from Kasane to Savuti. As the drive will take us approximately 4/5 hours we will have a packed lunch served along the route out in the wilderness, it always tastes better that way.

The Savuti area is a prime game viewing destination and covers almost 5,000 square km in the south west of the Chobe National Park. The area offers great game viewing at certain times of the year. The Savuti Channel has a fascinating history of flooding and drying up independently of good rainy seasons and flood levels elsewhere - a mystery that has intrigued geologists and other researchers for many years. The channel dried up in 1885 and started flowing again in 1967 until the end of 1982. Since 1982, the channel has been dry but in late 2009 it started to flow again. We now have water headed for the marsh again that has been dry for so long. It is going to change the dynamics of the area a lot as it will be going from a very dry area to a wetland area. It is very exciting and should be fascinating to see.

The next 2 days will be spent game driving around the Savuti area. Here we will get to see our first hills where some of them have small San paintings on them. We will break it up into a morning and afternoon game drive with a nice siesta in the middle. There are plenty of birds and animals to see in this area. This area is famous for its large bull elephants and lions but one must always keep an open mind and enjoy whatever we encounter.

DAY 4

Guests will be woken early to a light breakfast – then driven to the Savuti airstrip for their flight to their next holiday spot.
