Savute is a fascinating region, offering you the chance to see not only elephants but also large numbers of lions. It is not uncommon to spot prides with up to 40 individuals. Other mayor predators are also readily sighted: the endangered wild dogs, leopards, cheetahs and hyenas.

Savute is furthermore renowned for its excellent birding during the summer months (December through March). Additionally, the early San Bushmen chose the site for leaving ancient rock paintings as evidence of their life and culture.

At its centre, the Chobe National Park is a vibrant wilderness, a wide savannah area with rocky outcrops, which seem to guard what was once a marshy swamp scared by countless channels.
