Activities, Sports & Leisure

Game viewing

Guests staying at Botswana's Savute Under Canvas camp enjoy twice daily game drives where they explore the mopane forests and acacia savanna of Savute on early morning and late afternoon game drives in an open-air safari vehicle accompanied by an expert guide.

On these adventurous game drives guests traverse the open plains, where large herds of zebra and tsessebe can be observed.  Birdwatchers can marvel at the flocks of birds drawn to the pools of water around the waterlogged marshes.

Birdwatching

Birdwatching is excellent in the Savute area; a remote and wild corner of the Chobe National Park situated south of the Chobe River in Botswana.

Spectacular flocks of birds are attracted to the standing water in the marshes which occur along the channel. Flocks of the beautiful little carmine bee-eaters mingle with gatherings of storks while other bird species include rollers, kestrels, plovers and sand grouse. The kori bustard, which is the world’s heaviest flying bird, is commonly seen here.

Day Itinerary

At Savute Under Canvas in Botswana, the days of guests are designed to thrill with extraordinary wildlife experiences.  The spectacular nights delight guests with the romance of canvas under open African skies.

Morning Game Drive

As dawn breaks over the bush of Savute in Botswana, the butler announces the wake-up call at the tent. A tray of tea, coffee, and home-made biscuits await outside the tent.  Guests are now taken on an open 4x4 safari vehicle with their guide and tracker and set off through the waking bushveld.  The Savute region of Botswana is known for its high concentration of lion and guests may be lucky to observe a pride resting after its nightly hunt.

Breakfast

After an exciting early morning game drive, guests return to the camp for a hearty bush breakfast.  Guests are welcome to feast on platters laden with toast, jams and marmalades, home-made muesli, fresh fruits and assorted cheeses. Hot meals are prepared on the open fire, with eggs, omelettes, frittatas and freshly cooked pot bread.

Lunch

After breakfast, guests may indulge in a steaming hot bucket shower or maybe a quick nap before dinner for some relaxation.  Inviting lunch platters are served in the cool shade of the dining tent in the early afternoon.

Afternoon Tea

The early evening is available for leisure when guests can enjoy the tranquillity with a good book and a chilled glass of wine in the guest tent. Afternoon tea, with a selection of light snacks, is served in the late afternoon.

Evening Game Drive

In the late afternoon, guests depart on an afternoon game drive in the heat of the day starts to break.   Visitors are likely to watch game coming to drink at the nearby watering holes, including elephant, zebra or tsessebe.

Dinner

When guests return to the camp, cocktails are served around a blazing fire.  Dining under the stars on a delicious bush meal cooked on the open fire makes for an unforgettable experience. After dinner, guests indulge in decadent desserts, served with tea, coffee or cognac.  Stories about the adventurous day are shared around a glowing campfire.   Guests are then escorted back to their tent for a good nights rest.

  • Botswana's Savute region is well known for its high concentration of lion, as well as for its dramatic predator interactions. The Savute lions of Botswana, which can be observed during the game drives, are famed for having adapted to hunting elephant, which is not considered common prey for lions.

    A power struggle for the position of a dominant predator can be seen between the lions and the powerful clans of a hyena.  The rare African wild dog, which is one of Africa's most endangered carnivore, also thrives in this region of Botswana.

    The Chobe National Park is home to large numbers of elephant, which are attracted to the many water sources. Savute is also home to the Antelope, with common species such as impala and kudu encountered alongside giants such as the Eland. Waterbuck can be seen in areas with thicker vegetation.
