Savute

Leopard Savute

The National Geographic documentary film,Eternal Enemies was filmed in Savute. It the story of the battle between the lions and hyena in the area.

The famous Savute Channel and the Savute plains  are the main draw for this area with the wide open plains and expanse of open grass lands that during the rainy season is the target of thousands of Zebras and other grazing animals.

Savute Camps:

Savute Elephant Camp is a luxury camp that is in the middle of the Savuti area and is well known for its male elephant population.Big old bulls that roam through this dry arid area…

Yet while its a dry arid area,a part of Savuti go through a change when the rains come,and the lush green grass attracts a huge zebra migration.

Its a harsher environment yet nature has gifted this area with the Savute channel.This channel has started flowing again after being dry for about 30 years.With this permanent water source,it attracts a  wide variety of animals,and is a desolate lush area that has quality game viewing,

 

Savute Elephant Camp

 

To ensure a private and relaxing environment, Savute Safari Lodge accommodates just twenty four guests in eleven thatched chalets built of local timber and one family room which consists of two double bedrooms.

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.

Savute details:

The Savute area in Botswana forms part of the Chobe National Park and it borders the Okavango Delta and boasts one of the greatest concentrations of animals in Southern Africa

Savute is known for its mysterious channel that runs for 100km from the Chobe River, through a gap in the sand ridge,to the Mababe Depression.The Savuti Marsh has been dry for the past 18 years,expect for the  past few years when the Savute channel has been flowing.

The game-viewing in Savuti is very good.It makes a interesting/varied  combination with the Okavango delta,Selinda or even Chobe National Park, as it generally quite dry and arid.The other areas are quite lush.

Game-viewing is exceptional

The parched grasslands of the Savuti are boosted into life with the onset of summer rains from November to March,and thousands of Zebras and many Elephants migrate south from the Linyanti to gorge on the abundant grazing.

The pans fill with water and several remain wet long into the dry season,enabling animals to remain in the area.

The Savuti area is home to the Big Bull Elephants, and has a strong pack of Lions,making this area,along the with the dryness,during the winter,and early summer,a harsh,intense area.

Best time to visit Savuti will be dependent on your interests.

In early part of the year the herds congregate once again before heading northwards again.

From May to October the seasonal water dry up and the wildlife can be found around three artificial waterholes.

September and October offers excellent game viewing as predators are concentrated around the waterholes but it can be extremely hot during this time.

This area fits in well,with the other 3 eco systems of Botswana.
