SAVUTE AND LINYANTI Savute Safari Lodge

Highlights

General information

Savute Safari Lodge, and the Savuti region is situated in the southern stretch of Botswana`s Chobe National Park. Savuti is home to a multitude of animals and delivers an action packed experience for visitors to the region. Game viewing, more specifically in the dryer season is characterised by hordes of elephants jostling each other around half-empty pans and watering holes while thirsty impala, kudu and other herbivores have to wait for a chance to get to quench their thirst.

Savute Safari Lodge accommodates only 24 guests in local timber and glass suites with cool thatching and well furnished in fresh colors. All chalets have private decks, a combined bedroom / lounge area and en-suite facilities, which sets the lodge apart from typical safari accommodation.

An exquisite thatch and timber main building houses the lounge, library and cocktail bar and in front there is a viewing deck ideally situated for watching game at the waterhole. The viewing deck is utilized for brunch and dinner, however is reliant on weather and animal activity at night. After dinner, enjoy a night-cap by the fire-side whilst viewing the bull elephants congregate at the waterhole for their night-cap.

The Savute channel has a bizarre history of drying up during good rains and having flood levels at other times. The beauty of this area, created by the silhouettes of the many dead trees which relied on sustenance from the water supply of past years, combined with the congregations of old bull Elephants, diversity of animals and abundance of predators makes Savute Safari Lodge a highlight destination for any safari traveler to Botswana.
