Days 7, 8 and 9 Savute Safari Lodge, Chobe National Park, Botswana
Savute Safari Lodge is situated on the
banks of Botswana’s fabled “Stolen River”, the Savute Channel.
Stretching from the waterways of the Linyanti all the way to the
Savute Marsh, the winding waterways of the Savute Channel have
pumped life into the western section of the Chobe National Park
for many thousands of generations. However, there is mystery to
this channel, this fickle and unpredictable channel has a
fascinating history of flooding and drying up independently of
good rainy seasons and flood levels elsewhere – a mystery that
has intrigued geologists and researchers for many years.
Savute Safari Lodge consists of 11 luxury thatch and timber chalets and 1 family suite raised on expansive private decks, accommodating only 24 guests. The family suite consists of two bedrooms both with en-suite bathrooms. Families consisting of 3 children, can be accommodated in the family room with the addition of an extra bed in the suite.
The main lodge area offers a lounge,
dining room, secluded library, bar, plunge pool and most meals
are served on an elevated deck which looks out over the Savute
channel and the waterholes which are a magnet to animals which
come to quench their dry Savute thirst.
The area
is renowned for its population of bull elephant and for the
unique interaction of the resident predator species.
Your time at Savute Safari Lodge is spent on private game
drive activities with your guide.
Savute Safari Lodge offers the following
activities:
· Activities are centred
around game drives throughout the Savute area in open 4x4 safari
vehicles
· Families can also enjoy a visit to
the ancient San rock paintings at Gubatsa Hills, a small hilly
outcrop which forms a remarkable landmark in the otherwise flat
landscape. (visits to these painting at times when predators are
known to be denning near these hills will restrict this
activity)
A dedicated staff member, your “Safari Hero”, will plan your stay, activities, meals times, in camp activities, story times and ensure that both you and your children have an incredible stay with us at Savute Safari Lodge.
