I am really battling to book a campsite at Savuti, I have sent E mails to Connie.mapulalodge@info.bw ( i heard this is the best way), but no reply, also tried booking through Maun self drive. Does anyone know the best way and also park reservations!!!!
I am hoping to do a 10 day trip from April 22 to May 1 ( 3 days leave for 11 days off). The plan is :day 1 Nata , day 2 & 3 Crocodile camp, days 4,5,6, Savuti, days 7 & 8 Toro Lodge and day 9 back at Nata.
I have managed bookings at Crocodile camp and Toro lodge.
Cheers

Re: SAVUTI CAMPSITE
We went to Bots in July 2010. We eventually found that the Botswana e-mail system is very poor. Try using the phone as much as possible, using the e-mail only for confirmations and such.
Good luck
Peter

Re: SAVUTI CAMPSITE
Get a Chobe Park entry permit and just go. You will be ok. I did 3 extensive Botswana trips, including all those areas, never booked any accomodation and never being chased away. It leaves you with muuuuuch more flexibility in any case.

Re: SAVUTI CAMPSITE
