Botswana Wilderness
$10000-$19000/per person
Overview
This 8-day luxury Botswana safari covers all the highlights of this fantastic wildlife paradise. Start your journey in Johannesburg to catch your breath before flying to Kasane, Botswana. Your next three nights are spent at Savuti, in a private Linyanti Wildlife Reserve that borders the western boundary of Chobe National Park. It is situated close to the source of the Savute Channel on Osprey Lagoon, one of the many lagoons within the Linyanti Swamp system, and between two elephant corridors – all of which results in a plethora of wildlife on game drives along the Savute. Your final stop will be for 3 nights in the heart of the Okavango Delta at Qorokwe Camp, secluded in an intimate environment amidst the mopane, acacia, and riverine forest. In this private concession, an abundance of wildlife is at home: elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard, cheetah, giraffe, tsessebe, and impala, among many others.

Savuti Camp
Itinerary Details
Savuti provides front-row seats to amazing wildlife viewing and the mysteries of the ebb and flow of the Savute Channel waters. Perched high on the banks of the Channel, the camp looks down on a miraculous ribbon of territory that has been both savannah and river over the last few years.
Whether experienced in a dry, wet or transitional phase, the area has always been renowned for its game viewing. It holds a magnetic attraction for elephants, amongst other plains game and predators. Large canvas-and-thatch rooms (including a family unit) face the channel, and activities vary with the changes in the landscape.
Insider's Tip
Get up close to elephants at the camp’s log-pile hide and watch as they play and quench their thirst at the small water pan.
