It is on the banks of Botswana's fabled Stolen River, that you will find Savute Safari Lodge in a setting of singular beauty. The 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. Savute Safari Lodge accommodates 24 guests in local timber and glass chalets with cool thatching, beautifully furnished in fresh colors.
All chalets have private decks, a combined bedroom / lounge area and en-suite facilities, which sets the lodge apart from typical safari accommodation. The lounge, library and cocktail bar are situated in the exquisite thatch and timber main building, while overlooking the channel, Savute boasts a viewing deck, al fresco dining area and swimming pool - ideal for watching game at the water hole. 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 - December and again between February - April.
