Day 6 - Game drives along the channel
With sparse rainfall for more than two decades, the Savute Channel ceased flowing from 1980 to 2008, becoming a swath of grassland that proved irresistible as a feeding ground for herbivores large and small. In 2008, the Savute once again became a deep, clear waterway with hippo, aquatic life and numerous water birds.
