In Savute, one animal reigns supreme. Savute is the place to see the earth’s largest land creatures, the African Elephant. Belmond Savute Elephant Lodge is in a perfect position to take advantage of the surrounding prolific wildlife.
Game viewing and bird life opportunities are excellent in the area. Wildlife in the area: Impala, Tsessebe, Giraffe and Zebra as well as the powerful predators: Lion, Leopard and Cheetah. You are also likely to see plenty of Wildebeest, Warthog, Kudu, Black-backed Jackals, Steenbok, Bat-eared Foxes, vultures, hornbills and eagles.
When the rain comes in December, this arid region changes completely and the once dry plains sustain, for a short period, herds of migrating Zebra in their thousands.
