overview

Savute Elephant Camp is a tented bush camp on the Savute Channel in the southern Chobe National Park of Botswana. The camp is set amongst towering acacia trees in an area known for its year-round game-viewing, and in particular, large herds of elephant.

Head out on morning or evening game-drives in Chobe National Park, seeking the local lion pride and group of wild dog. Return to the camp and continue your viewing from the deck of the camp's lounge area. For something adventurous and interesting, discover the historical San rock paintings preserved on sites close to the camp.

Traveller Reviews

  • Really lovely and we were so well looked after. The tents were 'luxurious' and the beds very comfortable. Our outdoor shower looked over the waterhole which was really magical. The lodge area and swimming pool were wonderful. The Food and drinks were fabulous - a great choice and loads of food. The inclusive wine list was very impressive.

  • We had Savute Elephant Camp absolutely to ourselves for the first 24 hours (a big group had just left), and they gave us the finest "tent" they have - directly across from the waterhole. Elephants were there probably 20 hours a day, just outside our room. The staff treated us to a private dinner on our deck, and two private game drives since there were no other visitors. On the first of these drives, we saw a leopard, two mated pairs of lions (one pair actually in the act of mating as we watched), many other animals, and the incredible highlight of a hunting cheetah. We were with him for about an hour, and he actually walked right up to within 10 feet of our vehicle. It was nearing sunset, and the rosy gold light of the late day sun was gorgeous on his sleek form. I was moved almost to tears. There were no other people anywhere in sight - just the two of us, our guide and driver, and the cheetah. We eventually had to leave to return to the camp before dark, but stopped along the way to watch a lioness with her 4 playful cubs. What a day!!!

  • Having us start our trip at Savute was a great way for novices being introduced into a first experience into Africa. The lodge was fantastic, management were welcoming, the service and accommodations beyond our expectations, our guide Sello was an incredible guide who took great care of us and he set precedence for what we expected from a guide from there on. We saw incredible animals straight away (first 10 minutes into the first pm drive) and we were told that we were lucky. The food, service and the mood of the staff made our stay so enjoyable. We met very nice people there as well.
