A small part of the vast Chobe National Park, the Savute Swamp is fed by the seasonal Savute Channel which flows unreliably and provides a valuable water source to large populations of migratory animals and over 300 species of birds. The landscape here varies widely depending on the seasons, and can be lush and green or dry and dusty depending on the time of year. There is good wildlife to be seen here all year round, though the numbers swell significantly during the rains when large herds of zebra and wildebeest migrate up from the pans to the south. The area is famous for it's large resident populations of lion and hyena and there is also a good chance of seeing cheetah and wild dog here. There are also good numbers of giraffe, tsessebe, road, sable, kudu, buffalo, giraffe and waterbuck to name but a few. Savuti is large and there are relatively few camps in the area so it is easy to avoid other people.
