Savute Elephant Camp

In the heart of the Chobe National Park, sometimes referred to as the elephant capital of the world, is the Savute Elephant Camp.

Perched on the former banks of the now dry Savuti Channel, the camp offers a spectacular birds eye view of elephant in their natural habitat, and with an adjacent water hole just metres away from the camps main building, the impressions created here will last forever.

The area is famous for its high concentrations of elephant and lions. Prides up to 40 lion are not uncommon as are sighting of all the other major predators; the endangered wild dog, leopard, cheetah and the hyena.

The area is also renowned for its excellent birding during the summer months (December through March), as well as being home to some very rare rock paintings drawn by the early San Bushmen, who once inhabited the region.

As this camp is situated in the Chobe National Park, park regulations prohibit night drives and walking, however game viewing activities are offered in the morning and late afternoons in our open safari game viewing vehicles.

All the tents, public areas and swimming pool overlook the adjacent water hole so it is not uncommon to see a wide variety of birds and animals from the privacy of your own tent.

The camp also has a "Boma" or "place of eating" where guests can enjoy a traditional alfresco dining experience while being entertained by members of staff.
