Overlooking a quaint waterhole often occupied by Elephants, Savute Safari Lodge consists of eleven thatched, elegantly fashioned chalets and a family room. 

The chalets, which have been elegantly furnished in calm neutral tones to blend with the natural environment, feature expansive private decks, a combined bedroom and lounge area and en suite facilities. A lounge and library have a swathe of sofas to relax on and there is always someone free to serve you a cocktail from the stylish bar.

Savute Safari Lodge offers a shaded viewing deck, an al fresco dining area and swimming pool with spectacular pool loungers – ideal for watching the varied wildlife – including the resident Elephants – as they make their way to the waterhole to drink, bathe and play.

Activities are organised around game drives throughout the Savute area in open 4×4 safari vehicles to explore the local wildlife which is abundant, with a famously large predator population (Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, Wild Dog and Spotted Hyaena). Guests can also enjoy a visit to the ancient San rock paintings at Gubatsa Hills – a small hilly outcrop which forms a prominent landmark in the otherwise flat landscape.

The only permanent game lodge situated on the banks of the Chobe River within the famous Chobe National Park, Chobe Game Lodge is Botswana’s premier venue for guests looking for a perfect base from which to explore the National Park and Chobe Riverfront both on land and by boat.

With six comfortably furnished viewing decks, a riverside boma, two bars, six different lounges and four dining locations, a comfy chair or lounger is never far away, each with a different perspective on the wilderness and wildlife that surrounds the lodge. A large swimming pool provides welcome relief during hot afternoons and there is always a waiter on hand to bring you refreshments from the bar. There is also a fully-equipped gym for some exercise between the usual Lodge activities.

Chobe Game Lodge offers a choice of land or water-based activities and the most complete game experience in the Chobe National Park. Early-morning and late-afternoon game drives are conducted by expert guides in open-sided 4×4 vehicles to ensure maximum visibility of the National Park’s spectacular scenery and abundant wildlife.

Chobe Game Lodge has introduced four electric-powered game drive vehicles for a more immersive, carbon-emission free safari. Meanwhile, riverside game viewing is done from the lodges full fleet of solar-electric powered safari boats offering silent safaris on Botswana’s renowned Chobe River.

Chobe’s diverse wildlife roams in abundance and it is home to the largest concentration of elephant in Africa. During the dry season these large herds, as well as vast herds of buffalo, congregate on the fertile flood plains along the Chobe River to drink, bathe and play. There are frequent sightings of Lion, Puku, Red Lechwe, Sable, Giraffe, Roan Antelope and occasionally Wild Dog and Leopard.
