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.

A superb experience
Dear Jayson, You are a star. The very professional pieces of advice and the optimal design of the schedule that turned our holidays into an extraordinary experience. Thank you so much! Leopard Hills are indeed the boutique luxury camp that you recommended. People there are incredible friendly and knowledgable. The guide was excellent. And the cook, she was a friendly star too. The flight connections went well, despite that rather long drive, and the very early morning start. Wake up calls at 4 AM should be forbidden :) Mauritius was great, Club Med The Plantation Albion was the perfect choice. (The other Club Med @ Cannonier we visited only and were glad we didn’t chose that one…) Thank you again for the superb organisation.

First organized trip to Africa.
Booking an entire trip is a new experience for us. Our first contact with Shamiel was pleasant and wanted to know what we wanted out of the entire experience. As the planning moved forward Shamiel brought in Jayson to assist. As they listened to what we wanted and our concerns they brought together a package for us. Both we always accessible and extremely interested to provide us with a great experience.

Experienced a double booking
Before payment, we experienced an issue of double booking, where suddenly our chosen lodging is only available for 2 out of 4 days. I hope Safari.com can improve their system to avoid this in the future. While it will be an inconvenience on our part to have to move lodging half way, we also understand the high demand of the lodging as we make the booking just 5 months before departure. I really appreciate Nelia's quick action informing us and providing an alternative plan which works for us. Overall it was quite a smooth booking process.

Safari.com was helpful start to finish
Safari.com was helpful start to finish. The sign up process was clear, the support was great as we tailored our experience. Directions were perfect to get there. Everything in the safari was as we thought it would be and even better. It literally was the trip of a lifetime and exceeded our expectations.

Heleen 's service was superb: prompt, friendly and efficient. She altered my reservation promptly and efficiently. She warned me that SAN Parks might not be able to accommodate my wishes, but all is well.
