Great lodge to watch elephants
Savute Safari Lodge is located on the banks of the enigmatic Savute Canal in the heart of the Chobe national park,a great location to explore the nearby Savuti marshes. This area is famous for its large concentration of elephants and the extraordinary relationship between spotted hyenas and lions.
The comfortable camp consists of twelve wooden suites with thatched roofs. It is sheltered by camelthorn acacia trees. The chalets have a spacious interior with large sliding glass doors and are elegantly decorated with calm neutral tones, perfectly in line with the natural surroundings.
In the main building it is good to stay. Take a seat in one of the lounge's many comfortable leather, wooden or wicker seats or sip a cocktail in the stylish bar; an ideal place to observe the well with drinking game. In the main building, the tasty meals are also served in the beautiful dining room or outside on the deck. Or do you prefer to dine in the seclusibility of your own chalet?
The highlights of your safari
The morning and afternoon safaris take you to Savuti Marsh and Savute Channel where professional guides reveal the secrets of the African bush. With an open 4x4 vehicle you will look for large proud lions, packs of wild dogs, herds of elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, antelopes, ostriches, pelicans, flamingos and a host of other wildlife. In the summer months you can witness the zebra and wildebeest migration, an unforgettable experience! Visit Gubatsa Hills with ancient San rock paintings, leopard and cliff jumper. Order a gin & tonic and enjoy the elephants taking a mud bath as the sun sinks red in the background. You end the evening by the campfire with a delicious glass of wine, exciting stories and the sound of the Woodland kingfishers.
