A Luxury Safari Lodge In The Heart Of The Chobe National Parks Wild Savute Region
Savute Safari Lodge is part of a dynamic ecosystem that is renowned for its concentration of elephants and large lion prides in and around the Savuti region of the famed Chobe National Park.
An exquisite thatch and timber main building houses the lounge, library and cocktail bar, and in front, there is a viewing deck ideally situated for watching the wildlife at the waterhole.
Savute Safari Lodge offers 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 the same.
Rooms and Suites
Savute Safari Lodge accommodates just 24 people in contemporary furnished twin-bedded luxury suites constructed of wood, thatch and glass, making them ideal for the hot and dry conditions.
Double volume suites with their spacious interior and large, glass sliding doors set the lodge apart from typical safari accommodation.
Large private viewing decks and en-suite facilities, with showers, "his and hers" towel robes and tea and coffee-making facilities combine to make this Savute Lodge an unforgettable experience.

The Savute Safari Lodge offers an array of African cuisine, ranging from traditional dishes to international favourites.
There is also a well-stocked wine cellar with a variety of wines from around the world to choose from.
Guests can enjoy their meals in the elegant main dining room or outdoors under the stars at one of the lodge's outdoor dining areas.
