Savute Safari Lodge was perhaps our favourite of the whole trip. The accommodations were very pleasant, the food good, the wildlife spectacular. What really made the Savute stand out among the rest were the staff. They were the most genuinely warm and comfortable about discussing their country, life and family. We would be most likely to return to Savute.

We had a fabulous time and it was an amazing experience for my mother in law for her first safari. Both the lodges were lovely and made us feel so welcome with a nice touch from the Savuti Safari Lodge giving us a bottle of bubbly for our anniversary and the food expecially at Nxabega was absolutely delicious.

The Savute Safari Lodge is exceptional! We really loved the lodge: The cabins, the staff, the ground and the wonderful game drives. This camp could not have been better and we really were sad to leave this place and this would also be a camp to go again in a few years.

We started at Savute which for the first time in 28 years had water in the channel in front of the camp. This made for some wonderful Elephant viewing. Our accommodation there was great; Shane and Kim run a great operation, the staff are very friendly, the food was wonderful and everything was punctual. Wildlife viewing was fantastic.

We saw a lot of this beautiful country, by plane, by boat, on foot and by car on the game drives. The lodges were excellent, we felt at home. Very kind people and great hospitality in all the lodges.The food and drinks were great. We are glad that we spent our holiday in Botswana.

This is probably the one we liked the most. The location directly in the bush creates a magic atsmosphere: one night, during dinner, a hyaena came to drink directly in the swimming pool. Food was very good and the dinner served on the terrace in front of the water pond was a great experience, with all the elephants gathered to drink water. Game viewing activity is well balanced during the day (this is where we saw most cats) and the managers and guides are very well prepared.

Our stay at Savute was wonderful and unforgettable. Upon checking in we immediately came across the elephants drinking at the camp's watering hole. Fortunately we were extremely lucky to see two lions the next morning. Another truck from the lodge spotted a pack of wild dogs that had caught an ostrich earlier. While we were watching the dogs, hyenas were canvassing the area. Jeff turned to ask the guide a question and was shocked to see a female lion walking right beside our truck toward the wild dogs, which she ran off. A few minutes later, a male lion came around our other side. It was the most amazing part of our stay.

Ahhh! Savute! Savute! Savute! ... Even in retrospect it is still our absolute favourite. The service was impeccable, great food and gracious people. The camp seemed to have great staff harmony and respect. Our guide "G" was the best of many in that he was knowledgeable and informative. As to animal sightings; truly exciting and abundant.

This was a little disappointing because we did not see the cats like we had hoped. We saw evidence of them but not an actual lion or leopard. We did get see wild dogs in both Chobe and Savute. At Savute, they game up to the watering hole at the edge of the camp right before dinner and almost chased a rabbit right into camp with all of us watching. But once again, the staff was amazing and the camp was fantastic. We would have stayed just for the food if we could have.
