Camp information:

As it name suggests, Savute Elephant Camp is known for the herds of elephants that can be spotted roaming its plains.

But other large animals also gather here to slake their thirst, especially now that the intermittent Savute Channel has started flowing through Chobe National Park once again after an absence of nearly 30 years.

The camp has its own traditional boma, where guests can relax in the evening and swap safari experiences while marvelling over the stars in the vast African night sky. As with all Orient-Express destinations, this is a place to really feel the pulse of Botswana—and to become a part of it yourself.

The luxury accommodation in Savute Elephant Camp offers an oasis amid the beautiful plain. All the luxury tents are housed on raised wooden platforms, offering great views, and shaded by a traditional African thatch roof.

The large private decks are furnished with easy chairs and a hammock, ideal for viewing wildlife, or for enjoying a private dinner in complete privacy.

Enjoy a relaxed meal overlooking the stunning Savute channel in our raised restaurant. Gazing over the channel which is home to one of Africa’s largest elephant population you will be treated to delicious cuisine created by the skilled in house chefs.

Game Viewing:

Early morning game drives take you out and among Africa’s largest populations of elephants. Big cats are on the prowl, too—from leopards to lions.

Out in the bush, where rocks rear up among stony hills, are a collection of paintings that take your breath away.

Now is a fascinating time to spot birds here. The intermittent Savute Channel, dry for 30 years, has recently started flowing past the camp again. With it has come a host of new species.
