Day 4 – Khwai – Savuti – Chobe – Kasane - 22 May

The Savuti Game Reserve is a unique area bordered by the Okavango Delta to west and Chobe National Park to the east. Today is a long day as we spend most of our day travelling via the various sectors including the Savuti Game Reserve in search of the species that roam the plains. Expect some bumpy roads as we traverse this wilderness area in our 4×4 vehicles. Offering habitats from wetland, open water to the grasslands and savannah woodland, we hope to see as many species of fauna and flora possible. This afternoon we arrive on the banks of the Chobe River and will be reunited with our Nomad truck in the town of Kasane.

We left the lovely campsite early, wrapped up in complementary blankets in the game-viewing trucks.

In the ant heaps meerkats seem to make their homes

We had a packed lunch at the Savuti reserve entrance.

When we entered Savuti we had some gear trouble, not only with our truck but also met others struggling on the loose sand. We reached this store, where some of our party were dropped and our game-viewing truck went back to help others. The lady from the store drove us 80km to Thebe River Safaris at Kasane.
