A number of award-winning documentary films shot in Savuti have cemented its reputation. The Channel, dry since 1982, started flowing again in 2010 and is now once again flooding the Marsh, an area of sweet grasses that attracts herbivores of every description and, this being Africa, their attendant predators.
Camp Savuti is a small, intimate camp of 5 Meru tents accommodating a maximum of 10 guests in comfort and style. The tents have been positioned to ensure privacy and a modest level of exclusivity throughout the camp. Each tent sits on a platform, with views over the Savuti Channel.
The tents are large and spacious with en-suite facilities. In the guest areas, there is a comfortable and open lounge, bar and dining area and fire pit, all overlooking the Savuti Channel.
The activities include morning and afternoon game drives through the park and along the fringes of the channel and marsh. The game-viewing vehicles are open to facilitate game-watching and photography, and your guide will delight in showing you the beauty and diversity of Savuti’s natural wonders. This camp offers superb game and birding-viewing and the open area around the marsh is truly spectacular.
