The swimming pool, on a raised wooden teak deck, offers guests the unique opportunity of swimming and game viewing at the same time.
The active eco-system make for excellent game viewing, and after the first summer rains the once dry parched area is turned into a wetland. Large gatherings of lion prides and packs of hyena can be seen. Lone male elephants roam by their favorite watering holes, soaking up the relief that the rains bring. The lions follow the annual migration of up to 25 000 of zebra closely, ready to attack the weak, and the hyenas are never far behind to feed on the left-over’s. The wild dog, an endangered species, can also be sighted in and around the Savute area. Activities include game drives in open safari vehicles, visits to the Gubatsa Hills, where ancient San rock paintings can be viewed. The Savute Marsh hosts large numbers of birdlife, secretary birds, migrating carmine bee eaters, and quelea finches in their thousands, can be sighted. Experienced guides are at hand to assist and aid guests.
