Savute, a remote and wild corner of the Chobe National Park, is situated south of the Chobe River. The area's main feature is the mysterious Savute Channel, which flows and dries up seemingly unrelated to the rainfall. Dry and arid for almost 30 years, animals in the area were sustained by artificial waterholes. With the Savute Channel having started flowing again in recent years, the region has undergone a startling transformation, reverting to its natural lush and marshy state. Large numbers of wildlife wildlife have been attracted to this rejuvenated wilderness haven.
Sizable numbers of elephant bulls are invariably present at Savute. Savute also supports the greatest concentration of the king of all beasts - the lion. During the dry years, when prey was hard to find, many of Savute's lion became notorious for hunting elephant. With the recent transformation of the region, prey has become more abundant and the large lion prides have split up into smaller family groups, allowing a greater variety of predators to flourish in the area.
Savute is also a famous battleground for lion and
spotted hyena, whose ongoing fight for dominance has been captured in
the brilliant National Geographic documentary film Eternal Enemies by Deryck and Beverly Joubert.
With grazing now plentiful, the area is also popular with zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, giraffe, tsessebe and kudu.

MORE THAN I WAS EXPECTING
“The meals were so elaborate! I think Savute was a really good camp, I don’t see how you could change anything. And the best part of the trip was actually when we left and we had to clear the animals off the runway in order for the plane to land, and an elephant got a little agitated with this and actually charged us, which I thought was really exciting! It was an absolutely amazing trip and I honestly don't think anything could ever beat that trip. I still rave about it today and I'll probably rave about the trip forever.”
