Campsite Review: Camp Savuti - Chobe National Park Savuti Marsh, Savuti Channel (Travel in Botswana)

[@doti78]

Been to this campsite three times. It’s among my favourites. Wildlife was abundant every time. Best lion encounters ever

[@TravelGigolo]

Lots of wildlife, and lots of interesting sounds at night. A great camp site 👌🏾

[@wearesklcamps]

Thank you @travelgigolo for visiting our campsite. We hope to see you again, Keep camping!

[@TravelGigolo]

Thanks! We loved our stay there!

[@Philipk65]

That is incredible, those animals passing near or through the campsite. we don't get anything like this in Australia, not on this scale. That elephant was awesome.

[@TravelGigolo]

It's quite an experience, especially with all the night sounds. The lions roaring close by can be quite intimidating.

[@johnsanders1779]

We found Botswana Footprints very efficient and good at getting us bookings and do all our Moremi bookings.

[@TravelGigolo]

Thanks, will look them up 👍🏾

[@Henriette368]

We have used them quite a few times with great success

Howzit Gig! Awesome review as always ❤ Need to go there sometime.

[@TravelGigolo]

Definitely recommended! I think Botswana has a good thing going with the way they have set up their campsites. Thanks for the feedback 👍🏾

[@claytonstead4789]

Great review as always from cape town

[@TravelGigolo]

Thanks! It's a nice setting, we enjoyed the feeling of unspoilt wilderness.

[@monnawapye1995]

The restaurant is only for the tented camp which is run by SKL, which has been closed (re-opening in June)

[@TravelGigolo]

Okay, they didn't mention that the restaurant would only be for the tented camp 👍🏾

[@arntottober6660]

Hi, thank you very much for a great video, I really appreciate it. We are trying to book a place at this campsite but cannot find a site on which we can do this, wondering if you have any tips, car with tent. :-) Arnt

[@TravelGigolo]

Hi there, the contact details are in the description below the video. Website and email.

[@drup2013]

There is water at every campsite. You put ur hand through a pipe in that green concrete block and there is a tap in there..

[@TravelGigolo]

That's interesting, we didn't see that, only the small pipe. May we didn't look hard enough 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@doti78]

Correct. Check the hole first though before putting your hand in 😂

[@drup2013]

@@doti78 Ofcos 🤣🤣🤣

[@TravelGigolo]

😄😄😄

[@Manwalkerinpark]

When you say it is hot, what temperature are talking about?

[@TravelGigolo]

Temperatures were in the low 30's, so not that high. However, it was also very humid so it felt really hot.

[@tristanhall5971]

What is generally the practice for tipping or not tipping those clearing ash etc? Not just in Botswana.

[@TravelGigolo]

Good question. I'm sure there's a large divergence of opinion on this. We will tip when we receive service or assistance that is really good, or if someone goes out of their way to help or something of that nature. The tips are a significant source of income for some people, so I'm happy to tip if it is deserved.

[@sergioferreirs69]

Quick questions: How busy were the campsites on this trip? Are they busier in the dry season? Or the same? Now that I'm typing the questions, I'm thinking you might not have that info. 🤔

[@TravelGigolo]

It was relatively quiet when we were there, about 50% occupied. Third bridge was full though. I expect that the campsites will be full in the dry season. There aren't many campsites. Very different to camping in SA national parks.
