SAVUTI SAFARI LODGE - SAVUTI AREA OF CHOBE NATIONAL PARK
Savute Safari Lodge is located on the banks of the Savute Channel in the Chobe National Park, forming part of the rich Savute ecosystem. The Savuti Marsh, is a remnant of a vast inland lake, cut off from its supply of water many years ago by the same movement of the earth`s tectonic plates that brought the Okavango Delta into existence. It is part of the Mababe Depression and is fed by the temperamental Savuti Channel, which has not seen flowing water since it dried up in 1982.
The world-acclaimed game viewing of Savuti is an experience not to be missed. Dry season game viewing concentrates on Savuti's famous resident bull Elephants, antelope and Lion prides around half-empty pans and permanent waterhole's. Summer rains bring a feast for Lion, Hyena and Cheetah as thousands of migrating Zebra and Wildebeest assemble on the Savuti Marsh
