Luxury Accommodation - Chobe National Park |
|
Chobe National Park takes its name from the Chobe River and is a park of around 10,700km. The park is split into regions and we have concentrated on the north - close to Kasane as it's particularly easy for access to/from the Namibia border at Ngoma and also the river crossing of Kazangula (for Zambia as well as Zimbabwe). The famous Chobe River is also the border for Botswana and Namibia and its here that huge herds of buffalo, elephant and water dependent animals such as hippo, crocs and antelope converge. As you move away from the river front and flood plains, there's riverine forest that includes Rhodesian teak, acacia's, jackalberry and many others. Chobe really is quite unique particularly if you have come from the dry deserts of Namibia.

Savute Savanna Lodge - Savute, Chobe
It is on the banks of Botswana’s fabled Stolen River, that you will find Savute Safari Lodge in a setting of singular beauty. The now dry Savute channel is part of the dynamic Savute eco system renowned for its large concentration of elephant and lion and their troubled relationship
Savute Safari Lodge accommodates only 24 guests in local timber and glass chalets with cool thatching. The chalets have been elegantly furnished in calm neutral tones to compliment the natural environment. All chalets have private decks, a combined bedroom / lounge area and en-suite facilities, which sets the lodge apart from typical safari accommodation
Savute’s signature expansive glass sliding doors and viewing decks were inspired by the striking panorama. Whether seen in the dry season when it can appear desert-like and barren beyond belief or after the rain on one of those crystal clear days across the vivid green of new grass, the impression is always breathtaking. Activities centre around game drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles in the Savute area, including the Savute Marsh, and a visit to the ancient San rock paintings at Gubatsa Hills.
Savute lays claim to the second biggest summer zebra migration in Africa, which is determined by the rains, but usually occurs between November and December and again between February and April when the zebras are in search of the rain-ripe grasslands.
