Depending on imperceptible shifts in plate tectonics, the waters of the Savuti either flow strongly – attracting thirsty wildlife – or ebb, revealing grassy plains where antelope gather, attracting predators. For now, the channel flows right past Wilderness Savuti, which is perfectly positioned for an exceptional safari experience with incredible opportunities for land and water-based game viewing. Activities include day and night game drives, nature walks and boating (water levels permitting). Six large suites are raised to maximize the views over the channel. The thatched dining room and common areas are decorated in earthy tones that blend seamlessly into the wild environment beyond camp. The food journey at Savuti centers around the traditional dishes of Botswana making use of local flavors.
