Savuti Marsh, Botswana

Botswana Dreams

What To Expect

Savuti Marsh is located within the spectacular Chobe National Park in Botswana and stretches all along the northern boundaries of the park to the Linyanti River. Savuti was dry and waterless for almost 3 decades, and artificial waterholes nourished the wildlife. Now up and running again, it offers an excellent base for Botswana safari tours.

Savuti’s spectacular landscapes are covered with lush vegetation and marshlands, where an abundance of wildlife freely roam. The highlights of Savuti Marsh include the majestic zebra migration from the northern sections of Botswana, the rocky outcrops of the Gubatsa Hills, a myriad of birds, and incredible wildlife.

Famous as the stage upon which lion prides compete with hyena clans for food and territory, Savuti Marsh has long been the destination of choice for safari aficionados. A remote area of the Chobe National Park, it has earned its international reputation for raw, dramatic game viewing, thanks to its open landscapes, abundant wildlife, and full repertoire of predators.
