We just spent three nights here in room #8 overlooking a popular watering hole for elephants. There was no reason to view from other areas on the property--this room was perfect. Some folks complain about noise, but it was part of the experience. Not a bother at all. The food was also excellent and they accommodated special meals very well.... More

Thank you to Walter at Safari Online. We wouldn't of had this experience without his knowledge of this lodge. Not sure why this lodge is only a 4 star it should be a 5 star.

Savute Lodge was the third of our D&D camps in our African safari, and it was the favorite of all four of us. The wildlife is spectacular, with elephants all day and night visible from the dining table. One morning from our bed we could see two lionesses on the prowl. Our guide was Gee, and the G could well... More

We were collected by Obie (one of the managers) from the airstrip - Delta Air are rather unreliable so try to reserve a time well in advance, they messed us around and we ended up arriving late at camps every flight).

Savute Safari Lodge was our second of three stops on our first safari. We were blown away by the location, which is literally right over an elephant watering hole. The rooms were incredibly spacious and sturdy. They're less like a permanent tent and more like a hotel suite/cabin. The view from our deck was amazing. The staff were incredibly warm... More
