Savute Safari Lodge is in a setting of singular beauty, on the banks of Botswana’s fabled Stolen River. The now dry Savute channel is part of the dynamic Savute eco system renowned for its large concentration of elephant and lion and their troubled relationship.

Savute’s signature expansive glass sliding doors and viewing decks were inspired by the striking panorama. Whether seen in the dry season, when it can appear desert-like and barren beyond belief, or after the rain on one of those crystal clear days across the vivid green of new grass, the impression is always breathtaking.

Savute Safari Lodge accommodates only 24 guests in local timber and glass chalets with cool thatching. The chalets have been elegantly furnished in calm neutral tones to compliment the natural environment. All chalets have private decks, a combined bedroom / lounge area and en-suite facilities, which sets the lodge apart from typical safari accommodation.

You can sink into one of the numerous comfortable leather, wood or wicker arm chairs or sofas in the lounge and library or sip a cocktail in the stylish bar, all of which are situated in an exquisite thatch and timber main building, which overlooks the channel. Savute Safari Lodge boasts a viewing deck, al fresco dining area and swimming pool with spectacular pool loungers - ideal for watching game as they come and go from the water hole like old friends at a local meeting place.

Activities center around game drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles in the Savute area, including the Savute Marsh, and a visit to the ancient San rock paintings at Gubatsa Hills.

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 are in search of the rain-ripe grasslands.

Savute Safari Lodge is part of Desert & Delta Safaris, whilst the Savute Elephant Camp is an Orient-Express Camp.

The camp is closed between 10 Feb and 15 March.
