A dry wind lifts dust from the track as the safari vehicle pushes away from the riverine mosaic of the Linyanti and into Savuti’s wide-open scrub. Morning drives catch the marsh’s memory—patches of alkali flats and grassy pans that either gleam silver with water or crack into rust-brown in drought. At dusk the camp’s small canvas tents sit compact and private, while a guide’s silhouette studies spoor by the firelight.
