This short two night safari will bring you to Savute, the southwest region of Chobe National Park. Situated overlooking a waterhole where animals come to drink, the Savute Safari Lodge has a viewing deck, so you can have the chance to experience incredible wildlife interactions without even leaving the comforts of the lodge. However, you won’t want to miss one of the many game drives to the famous Savute Marsh or the ancient San rock paintings at Gubatsa Hills.

The Savute Safari Lodge offers private colorful glass and timber chalets, constructed with thatched roofs to create a uniquely modern themed African décor. These comfortable and stylish chalets are elegantly furnished and have private decks, combined bedroom and sitting areas, and en-suite bathrooms. In addition, the main building has the comforts of a communal sitting area, a library, a cocktail bar, and a pool, not to mention an on-premises wildlife viewing deck.

As part of Chobe National Park, the Savute region is most well known for the wildlife populated Savute Marsh, which is misleadingly dry. Nevertheless, because this region has no perennial water sources, animals are forced to crowd at watering holes that remain from the wet season, thus creating an unbelievable density of animals here. In particular, this region is home to a large population of resident bull elephants and lion prides. It is also well known for harboring thousands of Zebra that migrate there to graze on the lush grasses during the summer months. Although the lodge has a viewing deck, don’t miss out on the chance to track all of these animals through the popular Savute Marsh.

The best time to visit Chobe National Park is during the dry months of May through October. At this time the bush will be dried and thinned, thus providing better chances for game viewing in most areas. Your chances of seeing wildlife will be further increased because the animals tend to crowd around the available water resources This time also brings forth favorably warm sunny days and cool nights, with virtually no rain.
