Savuti
A classic safari area in the heart of Chobe National Park, with the Savuti marshes and channels known for lion prides hunting elephants, zebra migrations and rock art.
Savuti lies about 170 km southwest of Kasane. On either side of the Savuti Channel, which dries up and then flows again, stretch open grasslands. Lions, hyenas, cheetahs and wild dogs are frequently seen here, and zebras migrate through in the early rainy season. Nearby Gubi Hills hold rock paintings left by the San people. The roads are deep sand, and the drive takes 5 to 6 hours in a four-wheel-drive vehicle. Most visitors fly in and out by light aircraft and stay at camps for 2 to 3 nights, often combined with Moremi and the Okavango.
