Savute Safari Lodge desert and delta

My stay at **Savute Safari Lodge** was truly unforgettable and will remain a highlight for years to come. The lodge is beautifully situated near a water source, which allowed for incredible and frequent wildlife sightings right from the lodge. Watching animals come to drink at close range was a special experience and created fantastic opportunities for reflection photography, all while feeling safe and immersed in nature.||The food was excellent throughout my stay, and the staff were consistently warm, welcoming, and attentive. The luxury tent accommodations were both comfortable and cozy, offering the perfect balance of comfort and an authentic safari atmosphere.||My guide for the game drives was **Isaac**, and he was exceptional. He is highly knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights into animal behavior, which made every drive both educational and exciting. As a photography enthusiast, I especially appreciated how Isaac positioned the vehicle perfectly for lighting and composition, ensuring the best possible photographic opportunities. Thanks to his guidance, I came away with some truly wonderful images.||I cannot recommend Savute Safari Lodge highly enough—an outstanding safari experience from start to finish.||Cheryl Stephens-Lee|Ontario, Canada

I went with a group of 22 friends that was arranged by Toy Travel, which gave the entire resort to us. We were welcomed by a group of amazing people singing to us and then brought into the lodge for a refreshment. We were formally introduced to the staff one time and somehow, they all immediately knew each of us by name and treated us like family.||They were setting up massage tables anywhere they could to accommodate all of us and the safari schedule. I had “KENNY” and beautiful, healing magic flowed from her hands. Several people from our group had her work on them and left in complete disbelief at Kenny’s gift.||We saw large numbers of animals every single time “RICHARD” took our group out on the Jeep. The expertise and knowledge Richard and the rest of the guides displayed was outstanding. We also had plenty of animal visitors at our camp 24/7. There was always a giraffe, elephant, baboon or monitor lizard strolling around.||Our rooms were kept very clean and done around our schedules. Every worker there just radiated joy, happiness and appreciation for us. I do want to say something about another reviewer thinking her shoes were being stolen by a cleaner because they went missing and didn’t believe they were only being cleaned. I can 100% assure you that they were only trying to do something nice. This also happened to several of us while we were there and the shoes always returned later that night or in the morning looking brand new!||I can’t say enough about the food and the service surrounding it. Everything about it was 10/10. Everyone here goes above and beyond to make sure every guest is happy and taken care of.||I would return to Savute Elephant Lodge again and again and again! It was the most incredible experience of my life.

Stayed at Savute with my husband for our honeymoon and 3 days after we've returned home, I'm still literally dreaming of our safari game drives. We did not know what to expect other than our hope to see a lot of wildlife (check!) but the staff at the lodge made our stay so incredible. Kenna, Miss T, Edson and the rest of the staff have the kindest souls. The chef, Miss T even printed out recipes for my husband because the food was so amazing. We've truly never stayed at a place where leaving was so hard. The communal aspect of the lodge was amazing and we grew close to everyone there, exchanging stories and strategies of our game drives. ||Our game drive guide, Isaac, was a 12/10. We can't say enough kind things about him, he made sure that we saw as many animals as we can, even offering to go scout a leopard mid day in the hot sun because we hadn't seen it yet after a few days. He is also a photographer so that made our experience (myself, a photographer) even more incredible as he knew where to move the vehicle for the best photos! Thank you, Isaac!!

This is by far the nicest lodge we have stayed in. The atmosphere is super friendly but at the same time very professional. We shared some exceptional moments such as Lions fighting finally chased by elephants and wild dogs in action. All this thanks to our guide Isaac who conducted the games with professionalism and humour. Team at the lodge was first class. Visit here is a must. Charles Marien

Isaac is an exceptional safari guide, tracker, and photographer who truly elevated our stay at Savute Safari Lodge. His knowledge of the bush is extraordinary—he reads the land and animal behavior with an instinct that can only come from years of experience and genuine passion.||What sets Isaac apart is his deep love for wildlife and the wild places of Botswana. Every drive felt purposeful and exciting, whether we were tracking predators, observing subtle animal interactions, or simply learning about the ecosystem. His tracking skills are remarkable, and he consistently found incredible sightings that felt both thrilling and respectful of the animals.||On top of that, Isaac is a talented photographer and generously helped us capture amazing images, offering tips on composition, light, and timing. His patience and enthusiasm made every moment enjoyable, from early morning drives to golden-hour sightings.||The experience was made even better by the Savute Safari Lodge itself—luxurious, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable. After unforgettable game drives, it was a pleasure to return to such elegant surroundings, excellent service, and delicious food in the heart of the wilderness.||If you’re visiting Savute Safari Lodge, you’ll be incredibly lucky to have Isaac as your guide. He doesn’t just show you the bush—he helps you understand it and fall in love with it. A truly unforgettable experience.

We had a wonderful time and experience at the lodge. We were welcomed as a family and Isaac was the best Safari guide. Saw all the big 5 and more, received a great education on Batswana and the incredible animals. ||Food and lodge were delicious.

Just returned from an amazing stay at Savute Lodge in Chobe National Park. It was a wonderful experience and we saw so many animals every day. The lodge has its own waterhole right in front, elephants, giraffes, lions and different kinds of antelopes come by all the time — it feels like watching wildlife right from your room.😍|Our guide Conrad was fantastic — very knowledgeable, professional and truly passionate about the animals and safari. He made every drive exciting and interesting.👍🏻||Highly recommend Savute Lodge for anyone visiting Botswana. It’s a beautiful place with great wildlife and great people.🫶🏼
