In the heart of the Chobe National Park, sometimes referred to as the elephant capital of the world, is the Savute, an area that personifies the eternal contrast of Africa. Where our other two camps celebrate water and lush vegetation, Savute is an objective lesson in aridity. Rain is rare and water is precious. You find yourself in harmony with a unique timeless place, removed from city life. In Savute, you realise that precious little has changed on these dry plains since time began. And the realisation dawns that you are fortunate and privileged to be in one of the last corners of the planet governed by nature.

Perched on the former banks of the now dry Savute Channel, Savute Elephant Camp offers a spectacular base to explore the area. With a bird's eye view of the adjacent water hole, just metres away from the camp's main building, the impressions created atSavute will last forever.

The Savute is a dramatic area to see high concentrations of elephantand lions. Prides up to 40 strong are not uncommon as are sighting of all the other major predators; the endangered wild dog, leopard, cheetah and the hyena. Savute is also renowned for its excellent birding during the summer months (December through March), as well as being home to some very rare rock paintings drawn by the early San Bushmen, who once inhabited the region.
