Predator Country
Savuti is well known for resident predators, while the wider region supports strong wildlife movement through open and wooded habitats.
Predators and Remote Country
Savuti & Linyanti
Savuti and Linyanti feel wilder and more remote. This is big game country, with open marsh, woodland and the kind of drives where you can spend a long time simply following what the bush gives you.
THE AREA
WHAT MAKES THIS PLACE DIFFERENT.
Savuti and Linyanti sit within the wider Chobe landscape but have a very different character from the busy riverfront. Savuti is known for its channel and marsh, open country and predator activity. Linyanti follows a remote river system with woodland and floodplain habitats.
For travellers who want a more remote feel and enjoy spending serious time looking for wildlife, these areas bring a very different rhythm from the waterways of the Okavango.
EXPERIENCES
WHAT YOUR TIME HERE CAN LOOK LIKE.
Every camp is different, and not every activity is available everywhere or all year. These are some of the experiences that help give this part of Botswana its character.
Remote Safaris
Camp locations can feel more isolated than the busier Chobe Riverfront, which suits travellers who value space and a strong sense of being deep in the bush.
Seasonal Change
Water movement, rainfall and animal distribution can change the character of the landscape significantly, so timing and camp selection matter.
WHEN TO TRAVEL
Wildlife patterns shift with water and rain.
The dry season is generally strong for concentrated wildlife viewing, while the green season changes the landscape and can bring excellent birding, young animals and dramatic light. Savuti is particularly interesting because the channel itself has historically changed between flowing and dry periods.
WHO THIS AREA SUITS
Experienced safari travellers, predator focused trips, photographers and guests who want a more remote northern Botswana feel.
Savuti and Linyanti are part of the wider Chobe region, but their landscapes and safari rhythm are very different from the Chobe Riverfront.
