Itinerary information

Arrive in Botswana and transfer to Savute Under Canvas, an intimate tented safari camp in the Savute region of the Chobe National Park. Located in the centre of the park, Savute is an area long associated with up-close elephant viewing, lion/hyena conflict and an abundance of predators. It’s a region that now has more water than before and the game viewing is some of the best in Southern Africa.

In the green summer months, you’ll also have the opportunity to see the awe-inspiring sight of the annual zebra migration, and the bird watching – normally great – becomes excellent. The camp offers twice daily game drives accompanied by a knowledgeable and experienced safari guide.

Savute Under Canvas information

  • Set in Chobe's wild and remote Savute region

  • Expect top game viewing & in summer, the zebra migration

  • Personalised butler service

  • Authentic 'Out of Africa' experience
