Linyanti Savuti Area Introduction
The Savuti region covers an area approximately 1930 square miles in size (5000 square kilometres) in the south west of Chobe and became well known with the drying up of the Savuti Channel in 1981 and more so for its incredible game viewing opportunities.
The pans and pumped water holes become the major attractions during the dry winter months. The area is considered one of the continent's last wild and unspoiled wilderness areas. During the summer months most of the animals move to the fertile Savuti Marsh.
The Savuti Marsh area is well known for its coverage in a number of well known wildlife documentaries, especially the National Geographic films by Dereck and Beverly Joubert. It consists of rich grasslands, savannah woodland and a large variety of trees and vegetation.
