CLASSIC BOTSWANA – SILVER

Light aircraft transfer from Chitabe Camp to Savuti Camp in the Linyanti – depending on whether there are stops en-route, the flight will take between 30 to 40 minutes and affords a superb view over the Okavango. Savuti Camp set on the edge of the Savute Channel, which started flowing once again about ten years ago, consists of just seven en-suite safari tents each with a deck overlooking the Savute Channel. The area surrounding Savuti is more heavily wooded than the open savannah floodplains and islands of the Okavango Delta, which gives it a different feel. The types of animals found reflects the flora with leopards, as ambush predators, thriving in the game rich environment. With much of the woodland being mopane trees, a favourite for elephants, huge breeding herds and lone bulls can be found at certain times of year; principally the drier months.

Light aircraft transfer from Savuti Camp to Little Vumbura, towards the ‘pan handle’ in the northern segment of the Okavango Delta. Little Vumbura is an intimate year round mixed activity camp with just seven en-suite safari tents reached by motor boat from a landing stage about a mile from the airstrip. Little Vumbura is located on an island surrounded by permanent water channels allowing water based activities to be offered year round. With boat access back to the staging area, where the safari vehicles are left, access to land based activities also exist. Wildlife viewing is consistently good and with the reed covered islands close to the camp, a chance to see the rare sitatunga antelope.
