Dining at Savute Safari Lodge

Looking out, you will enjoy breathtakingly barren vistas in the dry season, with vibrant greens and lush foliage taking over when the rains arrive. In 2010, for the first time in 30 years the Savuti channel started flowing again. This amazing natural phenomenon resulted in Savute Safari Lodge having excellent views of now ‘permanent’ river .. permanent until nature decides once again to shut it down.

    Game drive safari at Savute Safari Lodge

    Game drive safaris in open 4x4 safari vehicles. The Savute area is privy to the second largest summer zebra migration in Africa, which normally occurs between November and December, and again between February and April. Visits to the ancient San rock paintings at Gubatsa Hills are also conducted. With the recent flooding of the Savute Channel, a steel bridge has been built across the channel allowing the game drives to still work the areas on both sides.
