This morning we will head deep into the Savuti Marsh. The Savuti area borders the Delta to the west and Chobe National Park to the east and is one of Africa's best-known big game areas. It is famous for its predators, especially its resident lion and spotted hyena populations - one place where one has a realistic chance of seeing the cheetah, leopard, wild dog, and other predators. The upper Savuti areas are among the most beautiful in Botswana. The game-viewing can be exceptional, and the wide variety of activities makes this an area not to be missed. Savuti hosts large herds of buffalo, zebra, elephant, and loads of other plains game.
You will game drive to Savuti soon after breakfast and we will be at the camp in Savuti game park in the afternoon.

Game viewing in the Chobe National Park.
Chobe National Park is Botswana's first national park, and also the most biologically diverse. It is located in the north of the country and is Botswana's third-largest park, after Central Kalahari Game Reserve and Gemsbok National Park. It has one of the greatest concentrations of game in all of Africa. The park is noted for having a population of lions that prey on African elephants, mostly calves or juveniles, but even sub-adults.
This day you will depart Savuti (soon after breakfast) and game drive to the Chobe National Park where you will visit this part of the Chobe that is secretly located away from the peak season crowds at the Chobe riverfront. This is also an area where elephant and buffalo can be seen in their hundreds - an experience not to be missed.
