In March my husband and I traveled to Namibia, Zimbabwe and Botswana. It was our second trip to Africa, and we stayed in 5 different camps.

Savuti Camp – Linyanti ConcessionSavuti Camp: front-row seats to see the Savute Channel flow, and its wildlife returning in droves.About Savuti CampAccommodation comprises seven large en-suite canvas-and-thatch rooms raised off the ground and facing onto the resurgent Savute Channel. From the thatched dining area, a plunge pool and large viewing area with fire pit extend outwards on raised wooden decks towards the Channel waters. Environment and WildlifeSavuti Camp is located on the Savute Channel, which for many years was dry, a wide-open ribbon of grassland snaking through the adjoining woodland. In 2008, the waters returned, and abundant game has congregated and adapted in its wake. The site of the camp is about 17 kilometres downstream from the Zibadianja Lagoon – the source of the Channel. Exploring the Savute Channel is one of the highlights of a stay here. Game concentrations are high, particularly in the winter dry season, and apart from elephant and plains game, species such as roan, sable, giraffe, lion, leopard, cheetah and wild dog may be encountered.Experiencing Savuti CampDay and night game drivesGuided nature walks with a guide (on request)Several elevated hides in the areaMokoro excursions (seasonal)
