Sedadamas kingdom reaches a savage chapter

Belmond Safaris invited Mmegi’s intrepid traveller THALEFANG CHARLES* to their luxury camp in Savuti to catch up with the status of the world famous Savuti Marsh pride of lions and how they are doing after a long period without tourists

The last time something extraordinary happened here was in 2011 when the Savuti channel was flooding after a long period of dryness. But guides in the Savuti are adamant, saying they had a sense that something was about to happen.

Throughout the years, events of Savuti have made amazing legends that were told to the world through incredible nature documentaries. From the intermittent flooding of the mystic Savuti Channel to the unbelievable fishing leopards and extremely successful pride of lions, Savuti, is a place of wonder. Located on the western-end of Chobe Game Reserve, on the flood plains of the endless marsh, overlooked by a white sand ridge, dotted with small hills, this is a place of remarkable legends.
