The Savuti Channel runs for sixty-two miles from the Chobe River, through a gap in the sand ridge, to the Mababe Depression. As the channel brings water from the Chobe River to Mababe, it creates a small marsh area. The area remained dry for about seventy years but flooded again in 1957. It once again became dry only to flow again in 2010. Because of its variable water flow, there are many dead trees decorating the banks. Savuti’s desolate, desert-like conditions have little shade but the vegetation growing in the area includes camelthorn sandveld, Silver Terminalia sandveld, scrub savanna, and mopane veld. Geographically the area was once submerged beneath a huge, inland super lake created by tectonic movement.
Savuti is known for its abundant wildlife and is especially famous for its predators, especially its resident lion and spotted hyena populations. Other animals in the area include masses of wildebeest, impala, and warthogs as well as the rare cheetah. Large populations of zebras migrate through the region.
During the rainy season, the area also enjoys a large bird population of more than 450 species. Large secretary birds and kori bustards can be sighted parading around the Savuti marsh as well as small redbilled francolins, known for its noisiness. Some summer birds include Abdim’s storks, carmine bee eaters, and even fish eagles. Little quelea finches can be seen in the thousands.
Many of the surrounding game lodges and safari camps offer daily game drives in comfortable 4×4 vehicles conducted by expert guides. Night drives discover the nighttime antics of several nocturnal animals including lesser bushbaby, spring hare, aardwolf, serval, large spotted genet, and, sometimes, the elusive pangolin with the aid of a spotlight. Walking safaris take a closer look at Savuti’s flora and fauna. Depending on the water levels, boat tours are available for exploring the region as well as catch and release fishing.
