The channel itself is known for its unpredictable flow, drying up for years then flowing again, drawing huge elephant herds whenever the water returns.Boma dinners built around African classics like seswaa and bobotie, candlelit private-deck dinners, and nearby bushmen paintings round out a stay built as much around Chobe's elephants as the channel's own strange history. Game drives here trade on Savute's reputation for elephant sightings, especially in the dry season when herds concentrate along the channel.
