Thobolos was our paradise. Enjoying a drink looking over a watering hole visited by elephants, giraffes and a large number of birdlife. One evening we enjoyed a BBQ which was delicious and we were entertained by local, traditional music. A trip to the Savuti National Park is highly recommended for cheetah and lion sightings. The chalets are spacious and well quipped. A very welcomed stop away from mass tourism. We would gladly return in a heartbeat. Such a special place.

Waterhole next to dining area is phenomenal! We saw hundreds of animals and the elephants were there for the entire night, each night

Viewing especially at night time is spectacular.

All good from the team running the place - they were brilliant. A polite reminder to camping guests to please not wave high powered flashlights across the waterholes at night........really??

Die Lodges sind sehr sauber und grossartig ausgestattet. Wir hatten Chalet 2. In der Nacht hört man viele Tiere. Die Elefanten kommen am Abend zum Wasserloch. Da kann man gute Fotos machen. Der Weg von Kasane bis Kachikau ist sehr gut zu fahren. Danach empfehlen wir ab der Kreuzung den rechten Weg zu fahren. 4x4 ist notwendig. Man schafft den Weg in gut 2 h 30 Minuten bis zur Lodge. Wir waren zwei Nächte da und bekamen sehr gutes Essen. Verwöhnung pur. Der Weg bis Camp Savuti ist in drei Stunden zu fahren. Von Savuti die Sandridge Road genommen und ca. 4.30 h nach Maun gefahren. Je nach dem was man vor hat. Kann man 1 oder 2 Tage verweilen.

Alles super. Wir können es gerne empfehlen. Preis Leistung hoch, aber ok.
