Senyati belongs to the elephants, during a typical day more than 400 elephants will come and go.  To the right of the waterhole there is an “Olympic size” elephant swimming pool and all this can be viewed up close from a bunker at the end of a tunnel.

The camp is comprised of 8 fully equipped, self-catering chalets and 20 campsites each with its own ablution facility.  The disparity between accommodation options is quite significant, the wooden chalet is about £200 a night, but to camp it is only £17. 

We did not do much here, you don't need to, as you can sit 20 metres from hundreds of elephants that come and go throughout the day.  A few of the young males get inquisitive and often walk up to within a few metres of the viewing area - " just keep calm and still" is actually a lot easier said than done.

Senyati is a bit like Punda Maria without the fences - yet another brilliant experience in Botswana.
