Savute boasts a viewing deck, an al fresco dining area, and a swimming pool, which is ideal for watching game at the waterhole. These features set the lodge apart from other typical safari destinations.
Day 5 - 7 After an early morning wake up and breakfast at Savute Safari Lodge, depart and travel though the Mababe depression and enter Moremi Game Reserve, crossing the well-known Khwai River bridge at North Gate.
