Safari Experiences

Game Drives

Morning and afternoon game drives explore the varied habitats of the Linyanti Wildlife Reserve, where guests regularly encounter elephant, lion, leopard, African wild dog, cheetah, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, sable antelope, roan antelope, and numerous other species. The region is especially renowned for its healthy predator populations and enormous elephant herds.

Night Game Drives

Exclusive night drives reveal a completely different side of the African bush. Using spotlights, experienced guides search for elusive nocturnal wildlife such as civets, genets, servals, bush babies, aardwolves, porcupines, and hunting predators. Consequently, these drives provide sightings rarely experienced during daylight hours.

Guided Walking Safaris

Walking safaris allow guests to discover the finer details of the Linyanti ecosystem. Accompanied by highly experienced guides, visitors learn about animal tracks, indigenous plants, insects, and birdlife while experiencing the wilderness from a completely different perspective.

Seasonal Boat Safaris

When water levels permit, boat safaris along the Savuti Channel provide a peaceful way to explore the waterways and observe elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and an abundance of birdlife. Additionally, the changing perspective from the water creates exceptional opportunities for wildlife photography.

One of Savuti Camp’s most memorable experiences is spending a night on the elevated Star Bed overlooking the wilderness. Falling asleep beneath Botswana’s magnificent night sky while listening to the sounds of the African bush creates an unforgettable safari memory.

Birdwatching
