Days 6/7/8: Savuti

Tsao Hill - Maun ( 230 km - 4 hrs)
Maun - Savuti ( 210 km - 5 hrs [dry-season])




We arrived in Maun and mercifully our vehicle was dirty enough to be allowed to refuel at the legendary Riley's Garage. The butchery was located. Biltong was purchased.




On leaving Maun, we stopped at Shorobe to buy wood, and 5 hours later, after some fairly deep sand drifts and bumpy roads, we arrived at Savuti marsh. Below, probably the best campsite in Savuti; Pleasant shade, nice deep sand, a hyena-spotting vista, no-one else around...



Probably the best Ellie in Savuti.



Wood for three nights...



Do we have enough water this time?
(please note Potgietersrus spade leaning casually against rear left wheel)



3 men and a landy.
Savuti delivered as per usual: Hyenas in the campsite, ellies everywhere, lion, cheetah, zebra, buffalo, wildebeest, impala, giraffe, kudu, bat-eared foxes, jackal...
