Chobe National Park
Today you head further north en-route to Chobe National Park, were you will spend the next three nights camping in a wilderness campsite in the Savuti region, exploring the desert-like landscape of game drives. Never has there been a better time to visit Savuti than 2012, as the waters from the Savuti Channel reach the marsh for the first time in 30 years. During morning and late afternoon drives our guides will take you to the Marsh, the Savuti Channel and the Hills. Savuti has a very healthy population of leopard who live on the hills and the best time to see them is either first or last light and they leave their stony refuge to hunt.
