In the heart of Botswana's Chobe National Park, lies a
dynamic wilderness, a sweeping expanse of savannah
brooded over by seven rocky outcrops that guard a relic
marsh and the dry channel that was once its lifeline.
Mysterious wet and dry cycles mould this landscape and
dictate the nature of its wild inhabitants. This is
Savute and for the moment the channel is dry.
Savute Safari Lodge peers out from ancient camelthorn
trees on the shore of the channel. The lounge, library
and cocktail bar are situated in the exquisite thatch
and timber main building, where an upstairs viewing
deck allows Savute's enchanting sunsets to mesmerise
guests.
A large fireplace downstairs is equally inviting
on winter nights, while the delicious aroma of dinner
and the prospect of candlelit dining beckons guests to
the elegant dining room. The lodge also boasts a swimming
pool and shaded viewing deck, both of which overlook
the channel, and where afternoon tea is served and guests
can sit around the campfire after dinner.
Twelve tastefully furnished twin-bedded luxury wood and
thatch safari suites accommodating a maximum of 24 guests.
The unique design of the suites with their spacious
interior and large, glass sliding doors sets the lodge
apart from typical safari accommodation. Private viewing
decks and en-suite facilities combine luxury and comfort
with a classic wilderness experience. Daily game drives
in open 4 x 4 safari vehicles in the Savute area of the
Chobe National Park, including the Savute Marsh and a
visit to Gubatsa Hills and ancient San rock paintings.
