Introduction
In the
heart of Botswana's Chobe National Park lies a dynamic wilderness, a sweeping expanse of
savannah brooded over by seven rocky outcrops that guard a relic marsh and the dry channel
that was once its lifeline. Mysterious wet and dry cycles mould this landscape and dictate
the nature of its wild inhabitants. This is Savute and for the moment the channel is dry.
Savute
Safari Lodge peers out from ancient camelthorn trees on the shore of the channel. The
lounge, library and cocktail bar are situated in the exquisite thatch and timber main
building, where an upstairs viewing deck allows Savute's enchanting sunsets to mesmerise
guests. A large fireplace downstairs is equally inviting on winter nights, while the
delicious aroma of dinner and the prospect of candlelit dining beckons guests to the
elegant dining-room.
Twelve tastefully furnished twin-bedded
luxury wood and thatch safari suites accommodating a maximum of 24 guests.
The unique design of the suites with their spacious interior and large, glass sliding
doors sets the lodge apart from typical safari accommodation.
Private viewing decks and en-suite facilities combine luxury and comfort with a classic
wilderness experience.
The
lodge also boasts a swimming pool and shaded viewing deck, both of which overlook the
channel, and where afternoon tea is served and guests can sit around the campfire after
dinner.
Savute Safari Lodge does not accept children under 12 years of age.
SAFARI ACTIVITIES
Daily game drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles in the Savute area of the Chobe National
Park, including the Savute Marsh and a visit to Gubatsa Hills and ancient San rock
paintings.
