Belmond Savute Elephant Lodge

Overview

As it name suggests, Belmond Savute Elephant Lodge is known for the herds of elephants that can be spotted roaming its plains. As well as high concentrations of elephant, the area is home to great prides of lions and other mighty predators and has been extensively featured in wildlife documentaries by the BBC and National Geographic. 

Probably one of the most luxurious camps in Chobe, The lodge offers large spacious tented rooms with air conditioning, a swimming pool, an indoor lounge and a dining area. The camp also has its own traditional boma, where guests can relax in the evening and swap safari experiences while marvelling over the stars in the vast African night sky.

As with all Belmond destinations, this is a place to really feel the pulse of Botswana - and to become a part of it yourself.
