Lebala Camp

The Kwando River disappears into the marshland before emerging as the Linyanti River, an important source of life to a wide variety of animals & birds. Lebala means ‘wide open spaces’ in Setswana & after visiting, it is not surprising to see why. The scenery is dominated by vast plains with scattered palms & tree islands backed by wooden savannahs.

Savuti Camp

Set in an isolated part of the Linyanti Concession along the Savute Channel, Savuti Camp has an ideal location – 17 kilometres downstream from the Zibadianja Lagoon, the source of the Savute Channel. The Channel stopped flowing between 1980 & 2008; during this time it served as a corridor & feeding ground for a wide variety of herbivores. In 2008, the Savute Channel once more became a deep, clear waterway for animals to congregate & drink, thus ensuring an abundance of game surrounding the camp & front row seats for Savuti’s guests. Accommodation consists of 5 large walk-in tents, raised off the ground & facing the Savute Channel. All tents are spacious & have en-suite bathrooms. There is also an additional family tent, consisting of 2 inter-leading bedrooms, each with bathroom & private entrance.
