Follow the Linyanti River and the dry channel of Savuti, in the north of Botswana, where packs of African wild dogs den and hunt among elephants and lions. Guides describe sightings here as some of the most consistent in Africa once the dry season begins, around May. Camps in the private concessions and public campsites at Savuti are the usual bases.
Up to 70% sighting chance in Linyanti and Savuti, Chobe, Botswana. Best months: August, September, July.
As the dry season starts, around May, packs settle near the river and the channel, so guides can track them from den to hunt.
In northern Botswana, in the Chobe area, along the Linyanti River and the Savuti Channel.
In camps inside the Linyanti concessions or in public campsites at Savuti. Camp rates are set by each operator.
Elephants and lions share the same channels and woodland, so game drives here rarely lack other wildlife.
