We felt well treated in every way in this lovely camp. The stars were wonderful, the park excellent. Good food, although flies were a bit of a problem. Nice gift shop with baskets by the hotel staff and their spouses. REally enjoyed ourselves here and could see the elephants from our rooms! More

The Savute Elephant Camp overlooks the Chobe National Preserve and the Savute River which miraculously started flowing again in 2010 after being dry for several decades. Elephants come to the river to play and drink regularly throughout the day, and you can watch them from the main lodge and the veranda of your cabin. And you can hear them trumpeting... More

We stayed at Savute Campsite in March this year. It was part of our honeymoon and we were especially looking forward to the wilderness and remoteness of Savute. On arrival at our campsite, we could hear loud dance music coming from Savute Elephant Camp. We spoke to the camp manager a number of times to ask for the music to... More

We rang in 2012 at Savute, and what a memorable stay it was. We entered the new year by spotting 3 solitary leopards on the morning of January 1st :-) You have the most amazing wildlife in your neighborhood (we saw lions, leopards, elephants which grazed in front of our tents, giraffes, zebras, hyenas and many, many more), surrounded by...

We had a wonderful time at Camp Savute and we didn't want to leave. The environment is beautiful and peacefull, the staff is very kind and makes you feel very welcome. The tents are very luxurious and the food is great. You even get your own private guide who stays with you all day and explains a lot about Chobe... More

We spent 3 nights at Savute Elephant Camp and loved every minute of it. The guides at all of the camps were great, but our guide at Savuti - Robert - was by far the kindest and most accommodating. He was fabulous. August was a terrific time to visit. It was cool in the morning but warm in the afternoons.... More

One morning i woke up and decided to stay in and not go on a game drive. My husband went and I sat on our porch with a book and experienced on of the three most memorable times of our Africa trip. It was cool, in the 70's when it had been in the 100's. I sat and read and... More

We loved the camp! Lots of good sightings and fun game drives. July is the perfect time to go because there's no bugs and lots of animals out. Weather is a bit colder due to it being the winter season, but still very enjoyable! Robert was a great guide too! All the best. More

This was the third of the Orient Express camps we stayed in during our 6 night trip to Botswana and definitely the best for animal viewing. Outside the camp, easily viewed from your own balcony and from the restaurant there is a small river. The moment we arrived we saw elephant bathing, followed by kudu drinking. As we sat on... More
