Savute Under Canvas
Savute Under Canvas is situated in the Savute region of the Chobe National Park which encompasses 11 700 km2 of wilderness, bordered in the north by the beautiful Chobe River, and buffered on all sides by wildlife management areas and forest reserves allowing for the free movement of game. A wildlife enthusiast’s dream, Chobe National Park is one of the top wilderness reserves in the world and is home to the largest single concentration of elephant.

THE WORD IS OUT!
Yes, it is true! The Savute Marsh which is fed by the Savute Channel, and that has been flowing for the last 3 years, has got water lilies! This has attracted Elephant in their thousands. The Marsh is covered as afar as the eye can see with herds of Elephant which have come to feast on the water plants that have been absent for over 28 years. Joining them are Buffalo, with the biggest herd counted at being over 2000 strong. This incredible sight can easily be confused with Chobe where Elephant and Buffalo are a common sight and the numbers, although large, are very much expected in the area. However Savute has truly come out of its drought and have been providing amazing sightings to our guests.
