Lions and hyenas at Savuti, and elephants on the Chobe River, with flights from Kasane.
Savuti is the Botswana for predators. A channel that sometimes flows and sometimes dries draws elephants and zebra, and the lions and spotted hyenas that follow them are some of the most watched in Africa. Add the elephant herds of the Chobe River and you have two very different sides of the same park.
Two nights at Chobe Game Lodge and two at Savute Elephant Lodge, with a flight between them, make a compact, rewarding safari.

Prices are per person, in US dollars, and depend on the number of travellers sharing the vehicle and guide. They are sample rates for planning and will be confirmed when you enquire, as lodge and permit prices change each year. The flight depends on aircraft availability and will be confirmed when you enquire. Sightings of any single species cannot be guaranteed.
Best time for this trip May to Oct
Pack light, neutral colours for game drives, a warm fleece for early mornings, a sun hat, good sunscreen and insect repellent. Binoculars are provided in the vehicle, but bring your own if you are a keen birder or photographer. Light aircraft have a soft-bag limit of 15 kg per person including hand luggage, so leave the hard suitcases at home.
