Savuti Campsite

Chobe National Park


One of the best campgrounds in Chobe, with five of the seven sites (all with braai pits) overlooking the (usually dry) river – sites one to four could do with a little more shade, while Paradise camp is our pick. The ablutions block has sit-down flush toilets and showers (usually hot).

Be careful of wandering baboons and elephants; the old Savuti Camp Site nearby was destroyed by thirsty elephants!
