The Khwai River flows through the concession and in places spreads out to form marshy areas and in others is a mere narrow channel that animals step across as they migrate between Moremi and the Linyanti section of Chobe National Park, via Khwai. The water channels have good populations of hippos, crocodiles, waterbuck and lechwe, and the dry woodlands away from the river host good populations of sable and roan antelopes, zebras, impalas, giraffes, buffaloes and many other species. As is the case with most of northern Botswana, elephants can be found everywhere, and lions, leopards and hyenas are commonly seen. Wild dogs often den in the area during the winter months and can then be seen with pups.
The 200,000 ha (2,000 km²) Khwai area consists of the small Khwai Community Concession (NG19) and the much larger Khwai Private Reserve (NG18). The tourism core of this area lies along the banks of the Khwai River and its tributaries with associated floodplains and woodlands, as much of the area north of the rivers is remote and dominated by mopane woodlands and open floodplains.
The Savuti is the extension of the Magwekwana (or Selinda) river, which releases water from the Okavango Delta to the Linyanti during floods. Conversely, the Savuti absorbs water from the Linyanti during floods in the Cuando catchment area and transfers it to the Mababe Depression ( Mababe Depression ), where it seeps away.
The Mababe Depression, once a large lake, with the inland delta of the Savuti, the Savuti Marsh ( Savuti Marsh ), is an important water source in the Chobe National Park. Therefore, a lot of wild animals gather there.
The Savuti flowed continuously until the late 1880s and then stopped until 1958. Then it stopped again in 1982 and started flowing again in 2008.
