Savute Under Canvas

PLAN MY TRIP

For an authentic safari experience, Savute Under Canvas is a semi-mobile tented camp positioned in exclusive campsites in the Savute corner of Chobe National Park.

For a truly Bedouin experience, the camp consists of five canvas safari tents booked on a daily basis that move every five days or so tracking the herds or exploring the various habitats. Each tent has a double bed that can convert to twin as well as an en-suite bathroom with a separate toilet and steaming hot bucket shower. In front of the tent, a shaded overhang and comfortable chairs are the perfect spot to sit and watch the abundant wildlife.

The camp takes advantage of the wild and beautiful Savute Channel of Chobe National Park. The mysterious channel once dried up only to flow again thirty years later. Now with the Channel flowing again in recent years, the region has undergone a startling transformation, reverting to its natural lush and marshy state. Sizable numbers of elephants are invariably present. The large lion prides have split up into smaller family groups, thus allowing a greater variety of predators to flourish in the area. The expansive grasslands supported by the channel sustain ever-growing herds of zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, giraffe, tsessebe, kudu, and other antelope species.

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.
