About your trip

Embrace two thrillingly different safari experiences in Botswana. Savute Elephant Lodge sits beside the mysterious Savute Channel and Eagle Island Lodge is in the heart of the Okavango Delta. Each offers experienced guides, rich wildlife encounters, and unique activities. Together they enchant even the most seasoned safari traveller.


Stay at Savute Elephant Lodge with its dynamic landscape: Elephants are, not surprisingly, the main attraction which boasts an exemplary eco-friendly design, luxurious spa and viewing hide. The majestic inhabitants are drawn to the mysterious Savute Channel, which flows and dries up seemingly at whim.


Ultimate Okavango: Eagle Island Lodge is a sustainably designed and built sanctuary that takes you magically close to the Delta’s rich wildlife. Drift through the watery landscape on a mokoro canoe, spotting hippos and kingfishers, or fuel your adrenaline with a thrilling helicopter and horseback safari.

Savuti Arrival - Chobe National Park

Savuti, also known as Savute lies in the heart of Botswana’s beautiful Chobe National Park. The Savute goes through wet and dry cycles, where wild dogs hunt in the dry river channel where crocodiles swam only twenty years ago. 


Visitors to this spectacular area can spot abundant wildlife including a variety of birds, elephants, antelope, lion pride, black-backed jackal, bat-eared foxes, tsessebe, kudu, hyena, cheetah Cape buffalo herds, and thousands of migrating zebra and wildebeest.


Evoking the feel of a timeless explorers’ lodge, the sustainably designed oasis immerses you in the untamed wilderness of Botswana’s Savute region. Relax in visually calming spaces, filled with rich textures, earthy colours, and furniture crafted by local artisans. Watch elephants, hyenas, and leopards drink at the watering hole from our new viewing hide. Relax by the serene pool and enjoy African-inspired treatments in the beautiful Spa tent, or gather around inviting firepits to share stories with new friends. 


After the afternoon’s game drive, an enchanting Boma dining experience awaits by the campfire.
