Savute Elephant CampSavute camp is located in the rugged, semi-arid wilderness region of far northern Botswana. The area is known for exciting game viewing, birding and Bushmen rock paintings are a special attraction.
  • Game drives
  • Rock art

In the heart of the Chobe National Park, sometimes referred to as the elephant capital of the world, is Savute Elephant Camp. Perched on the former banks of the now dry Savute Channel, the camp offers a spectacular birds eye view of elephant in their natural habitat, with an adjacent water hole just metres away from the camps main building. The area is also renowned for high concentration of predators such as the endangered wild dog, lion, leopard, cheetah and hyena. Find yourself in harmony with a unique timeless place as you witness a play that has no script, by actors who have no lines, in an environment that needs no set.

As this camp is situated in the Chobe National Park, park regulations prohibit night drives and walking.
