Settled in the very centre of the elephant capital of the world, known as the Savute. In the very midst of the Chobe National Park, one will find an arid area, where water is precious and the elephant is king. This remote and rustic place is called Savute Elephant Camp.

Accommodation at Savute Elephant Camp consists of:

Savute Elephant Camp allows guests to share the natural habitat with the elephant that have lived there for centuries; this unique experience will never be forgotten. Guests will reside in stunning tents, raised on platforms, giving breathtaking views.

Each luxurious tent comes standard with a big sundeck, ideal for elephant watching. These tents are lavish in that they are all completely ensuite, with aircon, a mini bar and a comfortable four-poster bed. There is also an electronic safe, as well as hairdryers and outdoor showers, to keep you comfortable.

The central social area at Savute Elephant Camp consists of a traditional Boma, where one can enjoy delicious meals, eaten in the al fresco style, as well as enjoy entertainment by the staff at Savute.

After dinner, one can relax in the sumptuous lounge with a drink from the full stocked bar, or alternatively listen to stories around the campfire, in true African style. Daytime allows guests to enjoy the sun, while taking dips in the big, heated pool, or even browsing around in the curio shop provided.

The game viewing at Savute Elephant Camp is spectacular to say the least. With the many elephant of course, but also the large prides of lion and other predators, like leopard, cheetah, hyena and the endangered wild dog – all of which you will have the opportunity to view.

You will also be able to enjoy some truly remarkable bird watching, as this area proves to be a haven for the winged creatures. And if you can’t seem to identify the species, there is a reference library available at Savute Elephant Camp.

Another once in a lifetime activity offered to guests staying at Savute Elephant Camp is the chance to spend a day viewing the ancient San Bushmen rock paintings. This art is as old as time, and a window into Africa history.
