The Beautiful Senyati Safari Camp

For the Animal Lovers

Situated in the Lesoma Valley, Northern Botswana, 20km from Kasane.Senyati Safaricamp can accommodate both campers and those who prefer some ‘home’ comfort. Although Senyati Safari Camp is very private, the waterhole knows no privacy. A variety of animals come and go throughout the day. The waterhole is frequented by a good variety of species such as hyena, banded mongoose, warthogs, roan antelope, monkey baboons, buffalo, sable, elephants and the occasional leopard.

 An early morning cup of coffee can be enjoyed on the deck while the vultures enjoy their early morning drink.  Baboons come from every direction, drinking, eating and even “walking on the trees”.  On a regular basis, mid-mornings is the time to see the roan antelope visit; with the occasional early morning visit from a leopard.  One fish eagle, in particular, has made Senyati’s waterhole his home.

 As evening falls and darkness comes the waterhole is lit by yellow flood lights.  While enjoying a sundowner guests are able to enjoy watching family after family of elephants arriving for their evening drink, some even taking a swim.  Once their thirst is satisfied they nobly wonder off into the bush only to repeat their evening ritual the next day.

December and January are the two months favoured by birdwatchers for visiting Senyati Safari Camp.  During these two months there is an abundance of various bird species.  Watchers are able to enjoy their favourite hobby sitting on the deck watching, twitching and ticking off their list of ‘must sees’ as the day progresses.

Wildlife in Botswana

 

The Republic of Botswana is a flat, landlocked country in Southern Africa, 70% of which is covered by the Kalahari Desert. This semi-desert supports more wildlife than a true desert because it offers huge tracts of grasslands for grazing after rains. Besides desert, Botswana has deltas, rivers, grasslands, and savannas.In terms of wildlife, there is a great amount of diversity in Botswana. One of the few remaining endangered African wild dog population and one of the biggest concentrations of African elephants on the planet both call Botswana home. And, the famous Chobe National Park features four ecosystems with the largest wildlife concentration in all of Africa.

 

1.Ostrich

The world's largest living bird occurs throughout Botswana, from the wetlands of the Okavango to the arid reaches of the Central Kalahari.

 

2.Vultures

There are eight species of vulture in Africa of which five are found in Botswana namely Hooded, White-backed, Lappet-faced, White headed and Cape Griffon. Very rare sightings of the Egyptian Vulture have been recorded. Vultures are often the first to arrive at a carcass after a kill or the first to pick up a dead animal. One of the defining images of Africa is that of vultures sitting in trees waiting for a predator to finish feeding.

3. Eland

The world's largest antelope was once widespread across Africa but is now only found in protected areas. Eland herds vary in size although they are known to concentrate in numbers around food sources. There is a hierarchical system with males but unlike other antelope do not defend territories.

 

4.Hippo

The deep grunting of Hippo is one of Africa's characteristic sounds and most people who have been on an African safari will have heard the sound. Although they are grazers Hippos are blessed with massive teeth that are used in territorial fights and displays. These teeth are also used to defend territories from humans.

5. Elephant

Botswana, the Okavango Delta in particular, is where the original Elephant-back safaris started. Today the herd is almost 30 strong with a number having been released back into the wild.
