Two thirds of the Savuti Channel travels through this concession and we will spend some of our time travelling along the Savuti. The camp overlooks a large and tranquil lagoon. The area is best known for its large populations of elephant which congregate in vast numbers during the winter months. Lion, leopard, wild dog, buffalo and all the plains game may be seen in this area. In the marshes one can view sitatunga, red lechwe, hippos and crocodiles.
Guests enjoy game drives during the day and at night, walks, boating and canoeing.
This morning we depart early for our drive north to Chobe, where our exclusive camp has been set up in a private site along the banks of the Chobe River. On the Chobe floodplains, Elephants can be viewed in numbers not found elsewhere on the continent, while water birds such as egrets, herons, ducks and storks occur in profusion. In the summer months, we limit our stay to two nights. It is a leisurely drive from the Chobe River to the famous Victoria Falls. Arrival at Ilala Lodge will be around midday, and you will have the rest of your afternoon at leisure to explore the rain forests alongside the falls, or take an optional sunset cruise up the Zambezi River.
