Overview of Savute Safari Lodge
Savute Safari Lodge sits on the banks of the Savute Channel in the centre of the Chobe National Park. At times flowing and other times dry, the channel forms part of a rich ecosystem renowned for its large concentrations of elephant, spotted hyena and lion – the latter two often being in brutal conflict over kills and territory – and the region is one of Botswana’s premier game-viewing destinations.
The main building is made of thatch and timber and has a lounge, library, and cocktail bar. It is nearby is the viewing deck, which is ideal for watching game at the waterhole below. The real drama, however, lies away from camp when you head out on early morning and late afternoon game drives in search of big game. Savute is justly famous for its high concentrations of predators, and if you visit in summer (about November to March), you may be lucky enough to witness the Linyanti/Chobe zebra migration as well as enjoying amazing bird watching.

Africa Safari Expert
There is constant elephant activity at the waterhole and watching the babies running for the water and throwing all caution to the wind to dive in was the cutest thing!
