Savuti Camp

At Savuti Camp in Botswana, you can marvel at the mysterious Savuti Channel on the safari of a lifetime.

Savuti means ‘mystery,’ and the fascination with this wild, unpredictable channel has attracted travellers and explorers for years.

Depending on imperceptible shifts in plate tectonics, the waters of the Savuti either flow strongly – attracting thirsty wildlife – or ebb, revealing grassy plains where antelope gather, attracting predators.

For now, the channel flows right past Savuti Camp, which is perfectly positioned for an exceptional safari experience with incredible opportunities for land and water-based game viewing. 

Savuti Camp’s position on the banks of the channel makes for an exceptional Botswana safari.

A short drive away, the camp’s Star Bed is the star of the show, a two-storey sleep-out deck, complete with ablutions, overlooks the source of the mystical channel: the Zibadianja Lagoon.

It’s the perfect spot to end a magical day on safari, as the calls of the wild soothe you to sleep.

Accommodation at Savuti Camp in Botswana:

Six spacious en-suite tents are perfectly positioned to take in the view over the Savuti Channel, which flows past the camp.

For many years, the channel was dry, but now invites an array of wildlife to its banks.

Spend quiet, peaceful hours in the hide and watch the wildlife drama unfold before your eyes.

End the day in the Star Bed, as the Milky Way dances across an inky African sky.

The food journey at Savuti centres around the traditional dishes of Botswana; seswa, oxtail, and samp and beans, with fresh produce grown in the communities, and Maun.

The local flavours are matched by the environment, with many meals savoured under the stars in the boma.

Or enjoy a bush brunch along the channel, as the sights, smells and sounds of Savuti envelop you. 

Savuti Camp offers front-row seats to the wildlife drama that plays out along the mysterious, unpredictable channel.

Six large suites are raised to maximise the views over the channel.

The thatched dining room and common areas are decorated in earthy tones that blend seamlessly into the wild environment beyond camp.
