“Elephants, lions, and endless landscapes, in Savute you see nature at its rawest.”

Savute is a place of contrasts and drama. Here, in the west of Chobe National Park, elephants traverse the dry riverbed in large numbers while lions hunt buffalo on open plains. Savute Safari Lodge is located by the channel. Where water comes and goes, but the wildlife always remains. From your room or the pool, you can watch the animal life unfold. Raw, unfiltered, and fascinating. This is Africa as you imagined it.

Classic lodge overlooking the Savute Channel
The lodge consists of eleven spacious chalets and one family room, all built on wooden platforms with a thatched roof, ensuite bathroom, and private veranda. The main building is open and airy, featuring a cozy lounge, library, bar, and dining area with views of the water.

Safaris with a raw edge
Savute is known for spectacular predator action. The game drives are intense and varied:

• Daily game drives through the Savute area
• High chances of seeing lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas
• Massive elephant sightings, especially in the dry season
• Unique rock paintings of the San at Gubatsa Hills
• Fascinating animal behavior at the waterhole right in front of the lodge

Pure nature experience
The guides at Savute Safari Lodge know the area inside out. This is no standard safari: here you follow tracks, see natural laws in action, and feel the rhythm of the wilderness. No water activities here, but intense wildlife encounters in one of the most rugged corners of Botswana.

“Make sure your camera is ready at the waterhole in front of the lodge, because in the dry season this is the place where everything happens.”
