Savuti Safari

Discover Botswana's Rugged Wildlife Country

Savuti is a distinctive safari area in northern Botswana, known for its changing landscapes, wildlife and predator populations.

The area is part of the wider Chobe region and is particularly known for lions, cheetahs and hyenas. However, wildlife sightings depend on season, food availability, water and animal movements.

What Makes Savuti Different?

Savuti has a rugged landscape with grasslands, woodland, dry channels and the Savuti Marsh.

One of the area's most interesting natural features is the Savuti Channel. Its water flow has changed over time, contributing to the area's unusual landscape and wildlife patterns.

During periods when water is available, the area can attract wildlife and birds.
