Savuti and Khwai Magotho - Best overlanding and safari spots in Botswana
SAVUTI - A wild destination in Botswana that needs no introduction.
It houses some of the fiercest predators in Africa. Don’t let their demeanor and laziness deceive you, as this is part of the March pride and they have been known in desperate times to take down elephants.
Even though not seen every day, Savuti is also home to the fastest land animal. The cheetah.
The elusive Leopard can also be spotted, and if you are very patient, some youngsters might surprise you as well
In the previous episode, we had to leave Khwai Safari grounds
We then made our way to the Khwai Community Campsites, Khwai Magotho
Here, with nowhere to go, we were welcomed by the gentle giant himself
We found that the area was very dry, and when comparing it to our visit to the same area just 9 months before, the difference was clearly noticeable.
Even driving around had a completely different feel to it.
We also found that there were a lot more dead elephants around the area. Not something that we like to see.
It was extremely hot during the day, and it was evident that the animals struggled to find shade
As we were looking at this waterbuck, a leopard appeared from behind a bush
As we got all our things ready in the morning, a pack of wild dogs came running toward our campsite
We left the wilddogs as the sighting became very busy, and started tracking a leopard that walked in the middle of the road.
We returned to the leopard again in the afternoon, but the flies got unbearable, so we rather left and on our way back to camp we hit a roadblock
This was our last day in Khwai so we decided to spend it at the river with some ellies.
Just as in Khwai, we came across a lot of dead elephants in Savuti.
It was a long day drive, but we were too excited not to go on an afternoon drive - so we did, and were we glad that we made that choice
This is the Savuti marsh pride. The famous lion pride has been known, in desperate times to hunt and survive on elephant
Unfortunately, there is a generator as well, but it is only running during the day when most are out on game drives.
We filled up our fuel to get the weight of the roof and headed to where we saw the marsh pride the day before.
They were still just as lazy as the day before.
We did not have a lot of time to spend in Savuti, so we made the most of it by being on a game drive most of the day.
Looking for the bushman paintings and we did not find them, perhaps if someone can let us know where they are in the comments so we can find them next time.
We returned to where we saw an impala kill in the morning underneath a bush and sat there for a while. It once again proved that patience does pay off.
Savuti has a curfew and this sighting was quite far away so unfortunately, just as the leopard pulled the Impala into the open we had to leave.
On our last full day in Savuti, we decided to do a bit of sightseeing and not in particular a game drive, so we headed to Quarry Hill
Mom cleaned the cub a bit and then went to a vantage point on the edge of the rock.
As we were leaving and doing a short game drive, we came across another roadblock of lions
In the next episode, we take on some of the loosest sand that we have ever come across before heading out for some sundowners on a boat.

Bofinet...botswana fibre network...i guess its for communication service
awesome content. Well done. what camera and lens are you using to shoot video
That elephant scene at the beginning gives goosebumps...hw did u react and feel after that close encounter!?amazing episode
Martin you guys were so blessed with your time there! Really this is amazing stuff. Like watching animal planet. How long was the drive from Khwai & Savuti?
Those drains are the inspection cover sections for the opti fiber cables that run alone the area
😂😂 that elephant was shining my pants by just watching how close it was
Thanks we like your videos
Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching
I have seen most of your videos if not all, this one is fully loaded 👌🏽
Thank you for the comment and supporting the channel by watching the uploads. Thanks for the kind words
Been waiting for this new video and it was definitely worth it! 👍🏻 Unbelievable sightings! Looking forward to the next one! 🤙🏻
Thanks for following the channel. Apologies for the delay with uploading the video. Putting it together does take a while. Thanks for the kind words, and the next one/last one in the series will be out in two weeks. . . . If all goes according to plan
@@OurLifeInAfrica looking very forward to it! Will keep an eye out 👀
By far one of the best Botswana Overlanding Videos I've ever watched. The Ellies at camp take the cup for me. My word, the leopards 🐆. I also love the fact that you were with family. Your channel is inspiring, and most importantly, informative. Totally enjoyed how filmed everything. Thank you Martin. The cheetah was the cherry on top. The Savuti pride is a once in a life time. I hope to go to Botswana one day.
Thanks for the comment and kind words. The elephants in camp is a common occurrence in Khwai, but it always catches us off guard. Adrenaline pumping. The leopards, or more in general, the cats surprised us a lot. We saw way more than we normally do. Thanks for following and supporting the channel by watching the videos.
How’s the drive from Magotho to Savuti?
Hi. It feels like you are on a boat, up and down the whole time. It is a fun road if you take it slow and enjoy the scenery. Thanks for watching
Brilliant from start to finish. Amazing footage, so well filmed and edited.
Thank you so much for the kind words. It does take a while to put an episode together. Thanks for watching
Another beautiful video, as is always the case.. 👌 Your luck with cats is unmatched, mind sharing the secret 😉😉 By the way those drains are for fibre internet services, that Bofinet on the cover is short for Botswana Fibre Networks
Thank you for the comment. And thanks for letting me know about the drain covers. It stretches for very long. This trip was unmatched for cat sightings. It was really amazing to see so many. Thanks for watching
@@OurLifeInAfrica My pleasure
Next-level sightings 🤯 Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks Villiers. We had some amazing sightings I agree

Thanks again
Hi Martin, fantastic video. Thank you for sharing. The paintings at Savuti are higher up to your left, from where you showed the panoramic shot.
Thanks Braam. That rock paintings kept us searching for nearly an hour, but to no avail. Will check next time to the left. Thanks
Fantastic. Which is better in your mind September or December?
Though the question is not directed to me Sept is the peak season, it better for most people, plenty of game sightings and all the roads are accessible, December can be rainy during your visit and some roads not accessible due to mud and game viewing also may be difficult as water is everyway and water holes will not be productive for game viewing opportunities... But will the scenery will be more beautiful in December due to green lush vegetation
@@warrenpfo thanks. It is a difficult one to answer, but as the other reply says, it is better in the dry months for sightings. The animals will be more concentrated around the river. And in December there will be more water around and the animals will be scattered. But thar said. The area has some amazing scenery and nice big trees, making the area flourish during December. And animals can still be found.
@@meks4by4overlanding21 exactly. It is still difficult to choose only one time of the year if I have to. The greenery in December is very nice and animals can still be found. In Sept it is very dry and dusty but the animals are abundant
Hi Martin & family, your videos are very good, I like this kind of tales, images, music and few words speaking. You show us how is your life in Botswana. We 've been two times in this beautiful country on a self driving safari and we hope to repeat our last July's trip next year. I keep some of your amazing campsites for our next time. Unfortunately we must to rent a car because we are so far to go there in our 4x4 camper. Thank u for sharing and who knows if we can meet there together some day !! 👍
Hi. Thanks for the comment and the kind words. July, when you will return, is such a great time of the year. Cool at night and not too warm during the daytime. It will be nice to meet you once on a trip. Thanks for watching
Your Episodes are magical Sir. Keeps me asking myself when am i starting this overlanding journey🥲
Thanks for the reply and kind words. It is never too late to start. Also never too early. Just get out there and enjoy what nature has to offer
Excellent footage, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the kind words and for watching
Wow daai olifant was in julle kamp daai naby gevoel is verseker onbeskryflik. Luiperd innie boom besig om te vreet priceless. En dan my gunstuling wildehonde epic. Content , camera work next level dankie vir deel OLIA mooi loop
Dankie weereens vir die comment Shaun. Die olifant in die kamp was onbeskryflik, veral omdat ons nerens kon gaan nie. Die luiperds in die bome wat eet wat net so nice om te sien. Die wild sightings was beslis aan ons kant
I'll put Khwai Magotho on my list! Are you and your wife both photographers? I can't imagine how you could get all this amazing footage out of one side of the truck! ;-)
Khwai Magotho and Savuti is a must visit for every wild adventure seeker. We both enjoy filming, but it is mostly only I that do it. Checking the behavior of the animal then positioning the vehicle and most important is patience. And then sometimes we get lucky. 😂 Thanks for watching
Beautiful 😍 scenery❤
Thank you. That areas is so beautiful
@@OurLifeInAfrica it sure is
Would like to kindly join you in one of the trips..

Baie dankie vir die nice comment. Die destination maak dit baie makliker om die videos te maak.
Another fascinating video Martin, Thank you for sharing😊
Thanks again for watching Kevin

Thanks for watching
Thanks, really appreciate your balance between wildlife sounds and your music, very well done and enjoyable to watch.
Thanks for the kind words. It is always difficult to get the wildlife sounds as we are confined to our vehicle and there is a lot of external factors. Thank you for watching
is there a link to the shop please?
What a great episode and now, thanks to you, I’ve added into my itinerary for our trip to Botswana next year too 👏👏
Thanks for the kind words. You will not regret adding it to your trip. It really is an amazing area
@@OurLifeInAfrica can’t wait . Thanks for your footage
Oh you brought back some fond memories me and my late wife shared in Kruger...
What time of year was this, it’s not very dusty! 😂
😂 This was December/January
@@OurLifeInAfrica great, thanks for the update.
Dusty time is in the winter. We found a lot of dust actually beginning of September.
@@OurLifeInAfrica i wax in Botswana this May/June. Amazing! Hope to return next year but i don’t know if I can wait until December/January but it looks like a good time. Thanks 🏴
So beautiful❤
The CKGR is such a beautiful place. Thanks for watching
I have continued to enjoy your videos. I live in Louisiana but am a Texan by birth. Much of Africa reminds me of parts of Texas. You have just enough adventure, family and wildlife to keep it interesting And entrancing. Love it all. Ya’ll keep it going.
Thank you for the kind words. Africa has such diverse and adventurous places to visit. We will continue to explore and find new gems. Thank you for watching
enjoyed you video. Thank you for the nice video and sharing it....we love going to Kwai.....what was your campsite number at North gate and at Mogotlo please?
Hi. Thanks for the comment. We absolutely love that area of Botswana. Magotho was Campsite 10, and Third bridge was campsite 2. Thank you for watching

The Kgalagadi is such a nice place
Dankie vir deel julle. My mond water vir n St Louis😊
Dankie vir die view. Ja ons smag ook alweer na n St Louis. Moet vinnig plan maak

I love it here. Camping, sightseeing and wildlife plus spotting leopards on the afternoon drive all combined?! 😃 That's top tier! 👌🏾 Definitely camping on this channel
Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching
Fantastic!
Thanks Pierre
Fantastic vlog- thanks 🙏
Thanks for the kind words and for watching
Great one again Martin🤙. Looking forward to the next one. Booked and ready for our life in africa 😜 next year August. When was this one filmed?
Thanks again. We were there end of Sept/beginning of October 2023. This year the great sightings might be earlier. Good luck with your trip. It will always be amazing
Woooow!! Your luck with cats is second to none.. I've been somewhat lucky with some cats sightings but I've never seen so much in one trip. Khwai really is the gift that keeps giving.. Thank you for sharing your trip with us. Absolutely wonderful 👌👌
The sightings were some of the best we have ever seen, especially at Khwai. It must have been because it was so dry. Some sightings we did not even film. We are going back again in September and will definitely compare the two trips. Thanks for watching
@@OurLifeInAfrica Woow!! September-November is the best time to visit the delta area in my opinion especially in terms of sightings. Can be unbearably hot though. Go have fun, can't wait to watch the videos..
Best sightings 🫡
It was really amazing to get such good sightings. Thanks for watching
That's wonderful ! I was born in Central Africa (DRC) and I experienced these emotions in the bush when I was a teenager. I am 72 years old, I relive in my gut these wonderful encounters in the African fauna and flora. Thank you so much. I'm happy tonight...
Hi. Africa is amazing. Especially places like these where nature is at the center. Wildlife is abundant but so is the birds and the nice tall tress. Such a great place. Thanks for watching
Hi Martin, great video once again. How do you find economy of the V6 when towing the caravan for such a trip?
Hi. It is not too good. On average it is about 5km/l. This includes open road towing at around 100kph. There are places that it drops to 3km/l especially with really deep sand stretches
Thanks for watching the vids
Awesome awesome awsome!!!! Ek wil saam gaan. Dankie vir jul ongelooflike vids. Dankie.
Dankie. Khwai is n awesome plek. Ons wil nooit ry wanneer ons daar is nie
Martin - Excellent! Wonderful sightings!
Thanks for watching. The sightings was on our side and amazing. Some of the best we have had in that area
