Savute Safari Lodge

Savute Safari Lodge sits high on the banks of the Savute Channel. The area is renowned for its population of bull elephant and for the unique interaction of the resident predator species.

Savute Safari Lodge accommodates just 24 guests in 12 luxury timber and thatched chalets. The chalets have been elegantly furnished in calm neutral tones to compliment the natural environment and feature expansive private decks, a combined bedroom and lounge area plus en-suite facilities.

The main building, also of thatch and timber, houses the lounge, library and cocktail bar. The lodge also boasts a viewing deck, an al fresco dining area and swimming pool, which is ideal for watching game at the waterhole. The signature expansive glass sliding doors and viewing decks at Savute Safari Lodge were inspired by the striking panorama.

Activities are centred on game drives throughout the Savute area, including the well-known Savute Marsh. Guests also enjoy a visit to the ancient San rock paintings at Gubatsa Hills, a small hilly outcrop which forms a remarkable landmark in the otherwise flat landscape.

Savute lays claim to the second biggest summer zebra migration in Africa, which is determined by the rains but usually occurs between November and December and again between February and April when the zebras move from the rivers in the north in search of the rain-ripe grasslands and full waterholes in the southeast of the park. Generally followed by a good number of predators, the zebra migration is a must for visitors.
