Situated in the western corner of the world-renowned Chobe National Park; the Savuti region is one of Botswana's most exceptional safari destinations, offering unrivaled game viewing and up-close encounters with numerous predators inhabiting the reserve. Savute Safari Lodge is a luxury lodge situated on the banks of the Savute River channel in Chobe National Park, Botswana.
Savute Safari Lodge is an exclusive and tranquil retreat in the African bush, complete with its own resident herd of elephant and spectacular views of the park and the Savute Channel.
During the summer months of November and December and again from February to April, Savute Safari Lodge offers a prime viewing spot of Africa's second largest Zebra migration. Although this spectacle is governed by the arrival of the rains, it's a sight to behold as the Zebra move from the rivers in the north to the southwestern region of the park in search of greener grazing grounds and water. The migration attracts the attention of many predators, making the Zebra Migration an event not to be missed!
Savute Safari Lodge boasts eleven well-appointed thatch and timber Chalets and one Family Room.
Each elevated chalet is decorated in neutral earthy tones and complimented with wooden and woven furniture. Each features a combined bedroom and lounge area with twin beds that can be converted into a double, an en-suite bathroom with shower and luxury bathroom amenities, overhead fan, in-room safe, tea and coffee making facilities, hairdryer, umbrella, air horn, and private deck that overlooks the waterhole.
The Family Suite has all the amenities of the chalets but comprises of two double bedrooms.
The lodge facilities include a reception, indoor and outdoor dining areas, campfire area, swimming pool, bar, curio shop, and a shaded viewing deck that overlooks the Savuti Channel and the lodge's waterhole that is frequently visited by wildlife.
The lodge activities include morning and afternoon game drives in the Savute Marsh region and visits to Gubatsa Hills where you can view ancient San rock paintings in the small hilly outcrop.
The Savute region is a wildlife sanctuary most famous for its predators, zebra and large elephant herds. With 450 species of bird recorded in the region, bird watching is phenomenal.
Savute Safari Lodge is ideal for solo explorers, couples and families looking for a rewarding safari experience.

Aquilia Safari trip
Re: Safari from Cape Town to Aquilia. Fadiel was very helpful and organised our trip for us. We were picked up by Joe, who was our driver for the day. Joe is born and raised in Cape Town. He was prompt and was very friendly and informative. There was a good choice of food at Aquilia and had choices for my husband too who is Coeliac.

Mel is friendly and patient
I would usually book my trips myself. Lucky for me I sent off an enquiry to Safari.com and received Mel's wonderful help. Mel responded quickly and made me feel comfortable with Safari.com. organising my trip. Later on, when I realised my dates didn't work with the rest of my trip, Mel gave me my options and costings and rebooked for me. Mel was very patient and friendly. I wouldn't hesitate to use Mel again.

Planning Our Family African Safari Experience
Planning our first trip to Africa was a really big deal for us. After careful review of numerous safari planners, we selected safari.com and worked with Nicole Van der Merwe. There's a lot of parts in putting together such a vacation including ground transfers, hotels, activities, and flights. At each step we had numerous questions and Nicole patiently worked through these with professionalism and care to her customers. I would recommend Nicole and safari.com for anyone planning a trip to South Africa.
