Morning and evening game drives led by professional guides and trackers travel into the bush in pursuit of the wildlife. Numerous predators including leopard, cheetah, African wild dog, spotted hyena, black-backed jackal, and bat-eared fox make this area their home. Birdwatching in the Savute area is best in the wet season when flocks of birds are attracted to the small amounts of standing water that gather after heavy rains. Beautiful little carmine bee-eaters mingle with gatherings of storks, while other species include rollers, kestrels, plovers, and sand grouse. The Kori bustard, the world’s heaviest flying bird, is also regularly spotted.

Meals at Savute Under Canvas have that delicious home-cooked taste and are served in open guest areas. A real treat is the private butler who will caters to guest’s needs. The tented common areas are great spaces in which to relax and have a drink with friends old or new. Before the early morning game drives there is coffee and a snack, while a heartier breakfast is served upon return. Enjoy lunch and afternoon tea during the heat of the day before heading back out for an evening game drive. Cocktails are served around a blazing fire after dark, and dinner is enjoyed under the stars.
