Seven spacious tents with thatched roofs are built on raised plattforms along the Savuti channel. All rooms with generous en-suite bathrooms. The rooms are connected to the main area by wooden walkways. The deck of the main building extends out into the Savuti Channel, with a bar, a fireplace and a little swimming pool around the corner.
To the north of the Okavango Delta in the Linyanti area, about 17km away from the Zibadianja lagoon, situated directly on the Savuti Channel. The Savuti was dry for many years, however since 2008 the water flows again, and the environment has drastically changed since. The channel has flooded some areas and even formed new lagoons.
Thousands of elephants visit the area in the dry winter months. The area north of the camp towards the Chobe airstrip is predominantly Mopane forest (elephant paradise) which then changes into open woodland with good chances of seeing predators. The Linyanti River can be reached with a two hours drive. Open plains stretch west of camp along the Savuti channel, hosting big herds of buffalo during the dry season. There is also a bridge connecting the Savuti area to the rarely visited area on the other side of the channel. Leopards, lions and wild dogs can be found in the area, as well as the shy roan antelope and the sable antelope.
Game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, night drives, bush walks (on request). Canoe trips on the Savuti channel are a wonderful change to game drives and come highly recommended.
Several viewing platforms are available. The logs in the Savuti Channel, which formerly served as a hiding place in the water hole, is under water and no longer "in operation". The second hide is located close to a waterhole and can be quite fun in the dry winter months, especially if used for a sleep outs.
