7 DAY SAFARI - 3 NIGHTS KHWAI, 3 NIGHTS SAVUTI

 

DAY 1 TO 4 KHWAI

The Khwai area is part of the Okavango Delta and is separated from the Moremi Game Reserve by waters out of the delta, the Khwai river. This is the

currency of life for all the animals in this area and due to the dry outer surrounding they are all drawn to the river.

​

On arrival at the Khwai airstrip you will be met by your guide and take a game drive to your camp in this wonderful wildlife area. The next 3 days will be

spent in this area as the river and its seasonal floodplains are central to all drives where one can find abundant wildlife and bird species. Game activities include game drive, night drives and a great optional extra being a 3 hour Makoro trip, which is a wonderful way to investigate the waterways with your poler guide. * Please note the seasonal uctuations and ow of the delta cannot be predicted and so please enquire if this activity is available for the time of year you are travelling.

 

DAY 4 to 7 SAVUTI

Today the camp will be moving from Khwai to Savuti. It will be an early start for everyone as the camp staff have to set down camp, move and set it up again in Savuti. Staff will go ahead and do this. As for us we will game drive with a packed lunch and arrive in Savuti at the camp site on sunset & then relax by the bush TV (fire place) and discuss the next days movements.

 

The Savuti area is a prime game viewing destination and covers almost 5,000km² in the south west of the Chobe National Park. The area offers great game viewing at certain times of the year.  The Savuti Channel has a fascinating history of flooding and drying up independently of good rainy seasons and  flood levels elsewhere - a mystery that has intrigued geologists and other researchers for many years.

 

The channel dried up in 1885 and started flowing again 1967 to 1982. Dry 1982 until 2009, where it flowed again for a few years. It is currently dry but is still a phenomenal place to visit with great game drives along the open chanels and grasslands. The next 3 days will be spent game driving around the Savuti area. Here we will get to see our first hills where some of them have small San paintings on them. We will break it up into a morning and afternoon game drive with a nice siesta in the middle. There are plenty of birds and animals to see in this area. This area is famous for its large bull elephants and lions but one must always keep an open mind and enjoy whatever we encounter.

 

DAY 7

After breakfast you will take a game drive to the airstrip for your onward journeys. This is not the end of the journey as Africa is now in you so we look forward to seeing you back soon. If nothing else spread the good word of your experiences and time with us.
