About the Lodge

Situated on the banks of Botswana’s fabled stolen river, Savute Safari Lodge is a traditional thatched safari Lodge in a setting of singular beauty.But just as awe-inspiring is the decades old story of how the river was stolen…and in an unexpected twist, how it was given back.

The Signature expansive glass sliding doors and vexing decks at Savute Safari Lodge were inspired by the striking panorama, and have been further complimented by the Savute Channel which flows just 50 meters from the Lodge. To ensure a private and relaxing environment, Savute Safari Lodge accommodates just 24 Guests in 12 Local timber and thatched chalets. The chalets have been elegently furnished in calm neutral tones to compliment the natural environment and feature expansive private decks, a combined bedroom and Lounge area plus en-suite facilities. Sink into one of the numerous comfortable leather, wood or wicker sofas in the lounge-and Library-or sip a cocktail in the stylish bar, all of which are situated in a beautiful two-storey thatched and timber main building. Savute Safari Lodge boasts a shaded viewing deck, al fresco dining area and swimming pool with spectacular pool loungers-ideal for watching the varied wildlife-and the resident elephants-as they make their way to the Savute Channel to drink, bathe and play.
