Savute Safari Lodge, Chobe National Park, Botswana
Savute Safari Lodge is situated on
the banks of Botswana’s fabled “Stolen River”, the Savute
Channel. Stretching from the waterways of the Linyanti all the
way to the Savute Marsh, the winding waterways of the Savute
Channel have pumped life into the western section of the Chobe
National Park for many thousands of generations.
However, there is mystery to this
channel, this fickle and unpredictable channel has a fascinating
history of flooding and drying up independently of good rainy
seasons and flood levels elsewhere – a mystery that has
intrigued geologists and researchers for many years.
Savute Safari Lodge consists of 11
luxury thatch and timber chalets and 1 family suite raised on
expansive private decks, accommodating only 24 guests. The
family suite consists of two bedrooms both with en-suite
bathrooms. Families consisting of 3 children, can be
accommodated in the family room with the addition of an extra
bed in the suite.
The main lodge area offers a lounge,
dining room, secluded library, bar, plunge pool and most meals
are served on an elevated deck which looks out over the Savute
channel and the waterholes which are a magnet to animals which
come to quench their dry Savute thirst
The area is renowned for its
population of bull elephant and for the unique interaction of
the resident predator species.
Your time at Savute Safari Lodge is
spent on private game drive activities with your guide.
Savute Safari Lodge offers the
following activities:
Activities are centred around game
drives throughout the Savute area in open 4x4 safari vehicles
Families can also enjoy a visit to the ancient San rock
paintings at Gubatsa Hills, a small hilly outcrop which forms a
remarkable landmark in the otherwise flat landscape. (visits to
these painting at times when predators are known to be denning
near these hills will restrict this activity)
