The suites might be great, but the whole experience is then backed up by the superb personal service and hospitality offered by the Tambuti team (you’ll probably even get a greeting from Hibou, the lodge’s hand-reared spotted eagle owl!) –check out the Tripadvisor reviews and you’ll see that the guests consistently rave about the staff and management of Tambuti! Those rave reviews also extend to the food and dining experience at Tambuti and the lodge tries to keep things fresh and varied – one night you might be dining by candlelight on the deck next to the swimming pool, the next you’ll be enjoying a braai around the fire in the boma under the stars; if you fancy something especially romantic you could end having an intimate set-up on your own private deck! The game viewing doesn’t disappoint either. The area around the lodge is characterized by a huge number of tamboti trees which results in regular sightings of the shy and scarce black rhino. These trees also play host to an incredibly wide variety of bird species thus making the area a birding paradise. The reserve is positioned between the dry Kalahari and the wetter Lowveld so you get a mix of game, tree and bird species that would never be found cohabiting in another area. Because of this, the species here are incredibly varied and unique from other reserves within Southern Africa – in fact it's home to over 354 different animal species native to Southern Africa, including the Big Five, the endangered wild dog and other rarer species such as Roan, Tsessebe and Sable antelope. You'll also likely have the pleasure of seeing buffalo on regular occasions as they often take shelter in these more remote areas that are not accessible to public visitors in the park. At Tambuti you can view all the Pilanesberg has to offer on morning and late afternoon game drives in an open 4 x4 game vehicle with an expert ranger (note that off-roading is not allowed in pursuit of sightings) You can also enjoy interpretive guided bush walks (remember to pack those comfy shoes) offering the bird watcher, botanist and the nature enthusiast the ultimate bush experience - the walk itself is relaxed and the experienced ranger uses his vast knowledge of the bush to identify and explain many of the hidden secrets!

Wildreness-savuti_2017-11-55a.jpg Wildreness-savuti_2017-11-11d.jpg Wildreness-savuti_2017-11-11de.jpg Wildreness-savuti_2017-11-55a.jpg 1/19 Location The Linyanti is a pristine wilderness area. Expansive grasslands, floodplains and mopane woodlands make this place where the Linyanti River meets the Savuti Channel one of Botswana’s most diverse habitats and a haven for wildlife. DESCRIPTION: Wilderness Savuti is situated in the private Linyanti Wildlife Reserve, set on the productive Savuti Channel which is famous as a sporadic and unusual watercourse. As part of a natural cycle, the waters of the Savuti Channel either flow strongly – a magnet for thirsty wildlife – or recede to leave behind a rich grassland. Regardless, both plains game and predators thrive, and exploring the length of this channel and its associated woodlands is thus a highlight here. Activities include day and night game drives, guided nature walks (seasonal and subject to the availability of a qualified walking guide), and boating (water levels permitting). The stylish Savuti Star Bed, overlooking the Savuti Channel and facing the Zibadianja Lagoon, to the west, offers an amazing sleep-out experience under the stars. The Linyanti has diverse and prolific wildlife, however, is most noted for its very large elephant populations which can reach enormous densities during the dry winter months. Additionally, other game concentrations are high, and apart from abundant plains game, species such as roan, and sable antelope, giraffes, lions, leopards, cheetahs, spotted hyaenas, black-backed jackals, and African wild dogs may be encountered. This area can be excellent for the rarely-seen aardvark, and aardwolf. With avian species recorded in their hundreds. This intimate camp’s en-suite accommodation is in six, canvas-and-thatch raised tents (including one family unit), all with sensational front-row views of the channel. From the camp’s expansive thatched main lounge, dining and bar areas, elevated wooden decks extend out over the channel bed. A small pool for refreshment, and fire deck for evening stories – being largely open to the bush – all ensure remarkable wildlife sightings. When the waters are low, a log-pile hide in front of camp provides a perfect setting to watch wildlife at the water's edge. Wilderness Savuti faces the renowned Savuti Channel, home to an incredible diversity of iconic African wildlife. This exceptional river system in the Linyanti Wildlife Reserve has confounded locals and visitors with its mysterious ebb and flow. These days it flows past the camp, which is positioned perfectly for watching the wildlife that has adapted to thrive along this mystifying river. PRICE INCLUDES: Accommodation on a full board basis including twice daily scheduled camp activities, local drinks, laundry and park fees. HIGHLIGHTS Wilderness Savuti's home is the Linyanti Wildlife Reserve, including 47 exclusive-use kilometres of the renowned Savuti Channel – exploration awaits at every turn Sleep-out at the stylish Savuti Star Bed, overlooking the Savuti Channel and facing the Zibadianja Lagoon, to the west – for a romantic experience under the stars Impressive wildlife viewing including dry-season concentrations of herds and predators, leading to magnificent water- and land-based activities OUR TIPS: Wilderness Savuti’s position on the banks of the channel makes for an exceptional Botswana safari.
