Botswana Accommodation & Camping Options

Chobe National Park / Savuti Area, north-central Botswana

Savuti Safari Lodge
The area is renowned for its population of bull elephant and for the unique interaction of the resident predator species. The close proximity of wildlife translates itself into the recently refurbished, modern African décor of the lodge. All suites have private decks, combined bedroom and sitting areas and en-suite facilities. The lounge, library and cocktail bar are situated in an exquisite thatch and timber main building. Savute boasts a viewing deck, an al-fresco dining area and swimming pool – which is ideal for watching game at the waterhole. These features set the lodge apart from other typical safari destinations.
Open 4x4 game drives are conducted in the Savute area, including the famous Savute Marsh, and the ancient San rock paintings at Gubatsa Hills, add magic to a delightful African safari.

Savuti Camp
Savuti Camp is situated in an isolated part of the Linyanti Concession along the Savute Channel in northern Botswana. The site of Savuti Camp is about 17 km 'downstream' from the Zibadianja Lagoon - the source of the Savute Channel. This intimate camp's en-suite accommodation is in seven large walk-in tents that are raised off the ground and face onto the Savute Channel. From the camp's thatched dining area, a plunge pool and large viewing area with fire pit extend outwards on raised wooden decks, providing a wonderful view of the Savute Channel and its wildlife.
Explore the Savute Channel and its environs through day and night game drives, nature walks with a guide (on request), and several well-positioned hides for safe, up-close animal viewing. Savuti Camp's former 'wood-pile hide' in front of camp is now part of the flowing Savute and famous for spectacular elephant viewing in the drier winter months.

Savute Elephant Camp
In the heart of the Chobe National Park, sometimes referred to as the elephant capital of the world, is the Savute - an area that personifies the eternal contrast of Africa. Perched on the former banks of the now dry Savute Channel, the Savute Elephant Camp offers a spectacular bird eyes view of elephant in their natural habitat.
Situated in the arid Savute area, Savute Elephant Camp offers an oasis type setting in complete luxury. All luxury tents are housed on raised wooden platforms, offering great views, and shaded by a traditional African thatch roof. The large private decks are furnished with easy chairs and a hammock, ideal for viewing wildlife, or for enjoying a private dinner in complete privacy. The tent interiors are luxuriously appointed with such comforts as an en suite bathroom, private fully stocked mini bar, four poster bed complete with mosquito netting, as well as a discreet air conditioning. The 12 twin-bedded luxury canvas tents, recently placed under thatch, that are perfectly suited to the desert air feature lavishly appointed en-suite bathrooms and dressing areas. They also have private viewing decks and comfortable outdoor lounges overlooking the Channel.
For your convenience, in-room safes are provided for the safekeeping of all cash, travel documents and other articles.
The following facilities are available: Spectacular observation deck area, just 10 meters from the adjacent water hole. 20 meter elevated Swimming pool area, overlooking the riverbed
Private Outdoor dining area – the ‘Boma’ is an ideal venue for special events and entertainment. Private outdoor leisure area internet access and satellite TV located discreetly away from the main lounge and dining areas. Satellite phones on request, high powered telescopes for star gazing, same day laundry service, Curio shops with essential toiletries, safari wear, local art and craft objects, reference library of books and videos, audio-visual facilities, VHF radio communications plus 24 hour emergency facilities
The camp offers game viewing activities in the mornings and late afternoons. These activities take place in a safari vehicle, designed for your comfort and safety. Activities are restricted to set regulations as the camp is within a national park.
