Take a further game drive / boat cruise in search of wildlife as they drink, bathe and frolic beside the Chobe River’ s fertile flood plains.

The bird life is also prolific with around 450 species to watch out for, including scavenging vultures.
DAY 3 Chobe / Savuti
Transfer to Kasane airport for a scenic light aircraft flight to Savuti. The winding waterways of the Savuti Channel pumped life into the western section of Chobe National Park for generations before drying up decades ago, leaving behind a vast arid landscape. Animals in the area were sustained by artificial waterholes until the Savute Channel began flowing again, which has led to a startling transformation. Reverting to its natural lush and marshy state, vast herds of varied wildlife species, including large predators, have been attracted to this rejuvenated wilderness haven. Later, embark on a 4x4 game drive at Savuti Marsh.
