The Details
Savute Safari Lodge is an exclusive and tranquil retreat in the African bush, complete with its own resident herd of elephants 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 for 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 zebras 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 complemented 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 a shower, luxury bathroom amenities, an overhead fan, an in-room safe, tea and coffee-making facilities, a hairdryer, an umbrella, an air horn, and a private deck that overlooks the waterhole.
The family suite has all the amenities of the chalets but comprises two double bedrooms.
The lodge facilities include a reception area, indoor and outdoor dining spaces, a campfire area, a swimming pool, a bar, a curio shop, and a shaded viewing deck that overlooks the Savuti Channel and the lodge's waterhole, which 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, zebras, and large elephant herds. With 450 species of birds recorded in the region, birdwatching is phenomenal.
Savute Safari Lodge is ideal for solo explorers, couples, and families looking for a rewarding safari experience.
