Suvati Camp's seven large tents are slightly raised on platforms built along the Savuti Channel. All rooms are equipped with a very spacious en-suite bathroom.

The rooms are connected to the main building by wooden walkways. The deck of the main building stretches out into the Savuti Channel, and the spectacular views over most of the channel makes it a popular meeting place.

The Savuti Canal carries water in some years, in other years it remains dry. This depends on the flood water, which usually reaches the Okavango Delta in April and varies from year to year.

Savuti Camp is situated along the Savuti Channel, north of the Okavango Delta and approximately 17 km from the Zibadianja Lagoon in Botswana's Linyanti region.

Savuti Camp is only accessible by light aircraft. The camp is located 35 minutes drive from Chobe 1 Airstrip. Flight time to Maun in a Cessna Caravan is 50 minutes, and 45 minutes to Kasane.

Savuti Camp is part of the private Linyanti Concession (1,200 km²). Duma Tau Camp, Savuti Camp and the premier Kings Pool Camp all belong to this concession.

The camp is renowned for herds of elephant, which migrate to the permanent Linyanti waters during the dry winter months. Savuti is surrounded by mopane woodland and rich mixed forest from Chobe 1 Airstrip in the direction of the Linyanti River.

Heading west along the channel leads to partially open grassland, where a bridge crosses to the “secluded” side. Large herds of buffalo can be found in the area during the winter months. Lion, leopard and wild dog may also be encountered.

Should the channel remain dry, we expect to see more and more wildlife congegrate in the channel in search of ground water. The cats will use the banks of the channel as view points and the impalas and zebras will be easy prey.

Game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, night drives. Bushwalking on request.

Because the camp is located in a private concession, night driving with a searchlight and off-road driving for special animal observation is allowed. Close-up shots are guaranteed.

There are several viewing platforms around Savuti. The second hide offers views over the waterhole, which attracts plenty of wildlife during the winter months. Sleep-outs are also possible here.
