Savute Safari Lodge game drive elephant and lion at waterhole

Overview

Savute Safari Lodge is found on the banks of the Savute Channel, in the western area of the Chobe National Park. The channel itself is of great interest, due to its history of flowing and then drying up, sometimes for decades, and independently of climate conditions elsewhere in the area.

Rooms

Stay in one of the eleven thatch and timber chalet rooms, each raised off the ground on an expansive private deck. Rooms are sympathetically designed with all the amenities for a comfortable stay in elegant safari style. The camp’s Family Chalet has two bedrooms, each en-suite and a separate lounge area opening onto a private deck.

Facilities

The central lodge area proves a great place to relax with a lounge, library and bar furnished with an array of inviting chairs. The main dining area is found here, whilst on a lower level, a shaded viewing deck doubles as an al fresco dining area, a perfect location for dinner under the stars. A separate swimming pool complete with loungers is an ideal place to laze and watch the comings and goings along the channel.

Many of the lodge’s activities are organised around game drives throughout the Savute area, in dedicated open 4x4 safari vehicles. Guests can also visit ancient San rock paintings in the Gubatsa Hills.

"The holiday was absolutely fantastic. Saw all the big 5 except rhinos.The accommodation was top class (lovely big beds), the people who staffed it were so friendly, guides were so knowledgeable, you really felt they wanted you to visit their country. We did a helicopter tour over Victoria falls, which were awe inspiring - another highlight of the holiday. All the transfers were smooth and efficient and this reduced any stress in the holiday, loved the small plane hops between camps in Botswana. We had an unforgettable holiday and will be boring our friends and family with it for months. Thanks for your help in organising this wonderful holiday. "

"Back home after another fabulous holiday. The lodges were all of the same high standard of cleanliness, food quality and presentation with all members of staff helpful, friendly and as immaculately turned out as we remember from 4 years ago. The guides were all brilliant with their knowledge, enthusiasm and great sense of humour. We did a 4 hour game walk-brilliant! Again a great holiday - may well return in a few years!!"

We had a fabulous trip staying at 3 lodges in Botswana. My late husband and I were keen bird watchers and I donated his binoculars to one of the lodges there, for which they were very appreciative. Thank you for everything you did.
