The magnificent Belmond Savute Elephant Lodge in the Chobe National Park in Northern Botswana is known for its elephants which can be observed roaming its plains.

The Savute Elephant Camp features a traditional boma, where guests are invited to relax in the evening and exchange safari experiences while marvelling over the stars in the vast African night sky.

The Savute Elephant Lodge comfortable tents offer sliding glass doors which allow guests to observe the abundant wildlife from the comfort of their luxury tent.

Visitors may step outside onto their sizeable private deck which has comfortable chairs and a hammock. Savute's luxury tents stand by a traditional African thatch roof. Luxuriously decorated, these tents include en-suite bathrooms, private fully stocked minibars, four-poster beds complete with mosquito netting, as well as air conditioning. The 12 twin-bedded luxury canvas tents are ideally suited to the desert air and feature lavishly appointed en-suite bathrooms and dressing areas.

Dry season wildlife viewing in this region of Botswana concentrates on Savute's resident bull elephants as well as antelope and lion pride which live around half-empty lakes and permanent waterholes. Black-backed jackal, bat-eared foxes, tsessebe, kudu, impala, and ostrich abound.

The summer rains in Botswana bring a feast for the lion; hyena and cheetah as thousands of migrating zebra and wildebeest come to the Savuti Marsh. Spectacular Cape buffalo herds arrive, and migrant birds swell Savute's 300 resident species, thrilling bird-watchers with their dramatic antics.
