The Savuti Marsh is an expanse of grasslands in the western region of Chobe National Park. In Botswana’s Bayei dialect, the word Savuti means “unclear,” and this is thought to be a reference to the areas’ unpredictable water supply, the Savuti Channel.

Around Camp Savuti sightings of the bloodline of the Marsh Pride are seen, and it’s fascinating knowing that you’re face-to-face with the infamous brutish lions of the Savuti!
