Location Of Savute Elephant Camp

Savute Elephant Camp is located In the south west of Chobe National Park. It lies on a dynamic wilderness, a sweeping expanse of savannah brooded over by several rocky outcrops which guard a relic Savute marsh and the Savute channel. Mysterious wet and dry cycles mould this landscape and dictate the nature of its wild inhabitants. The Savute Channel, one of the greatest mysteries and fascinations of Northern Botswana, is flowing again after nearly 30 years of lying dormant. The Gubatsa Hills shelter leopard and Klipspringer and rock paintings of early man’s wildlife sightings.

Safari Experience At Savute Elephant Camp

The park is best known for the high concentration of elephant population, with over 50,000 it is the largest elephant concentration in Africa. The elephants are formed of the species called Kalahari Elephants. These elephants are characterized by there larger than average size but comparatively weak tusks. Dry season game viewing concentrates on Savute’s resident bull elephants as well as antelope and lion prides around half-empty pans and permanent water-holes. Black-backed jackal, bat-eared foxes, tsessebe, kudu, impala and ostrich abound. The summer rains bring a feast for lion, hyena and cheetah as thousands of migrating zebra and wildebeest assemble in a chaotic pattern on the Savute marsh. Cape buffalo herds arrive and migrant birds swell Savute’s 300 resident species, thrilling bird-watchers with their spectacular antics. Carmine bee-eaters perch on the back of kori bustards and red-crested korhaans plummet from the sky in daring aerobatic mating displays.
