Savute Safari Lodge - Our View

Set right at the end of the Savute channel, not far from the infamous Savute marsh, this area of Botswana is one of the driest and most arid. This does, however, mean that the permanent watering hole out in front of the lodge is a superb place to while away a few hours watching the elephant drink. The lodge itself is comfortable and fairly neatly laid out with the area down by the pool being the best feature by far. Not a bad lodge at all if, like its sister camps, a little sterile….definitely not a fan of the breakfast room!!

Savute Safari Lodge – The Facts

Savute Safari Lodge - The Detail

Savute Safari Lodge accommodates only 24 guests in local timber and glass chalets with cool thatching. The chalets have been elegantly furnished in calm neutral tones to compliment the natural environment. All chalets have private decks, a combined bedroom / lounge area and en-suite facilities, which sets the lodge apart from typical safari.

You can sink into one of the numerous comfortable leather, wood or wicker arm chairs or sofas in the lounge and library or sip a cocktail in the stylish bar, all of which are situated in an exquisite thatch and timber main building, which
overlooks the channel. Savute Safari Lodge boasts a viewing deck, al fresco dining area and swimming pool with spectacular pool loungers - ideal for watching game as they come and go from the water hole like old friends at a local meeting place.

Activities center around game drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles in the Savute area, including the Savute Marsh, and a visit to the ancient San rock paintings at Gubatsa Hills. Savute lays claim to the second biggest summer zebra migration in Africa, which is determined by the rains, but usually occurs between November and December and again between February and April when the zebras are in search of the
rain-ripe grasslands.
