Savute Safari Lodge | Xugana Island Lodge

The Savute region of the Chobe National Park is one of Botswana best game viewing destinations, offering exceptional year round game viewing. In the green season massive herds of zebra migrate through the Savute Marsh along with other large groups of mammals in search of the rich grasses. This open marsh area makes for easier predator sightings along with the increase in prey available. The Northern and Marsh lion prides which dominate the region remain offer excellent predator encounters. As the rains bring fresh growth and water into the Savute Marsh large flocks of the vibrant Carmine bee-eaters migrate through the area to pick up insects. They are known to follow vehicles to prey on insects as they flick up providing beautiful photograph opportunities or just marvel at the amazing birdlife.

Some camps and lodges in the Okavango Delta change dramatically throughout the year with green season often offering a vastly contrasting experience due to the floodwaters having receded. Xugana Island Lodge offers year-round water-based activities located on a private concession in the heart of the Okavango Delta, the best location from which to explore the deep water, lagoons and channels. Guided bush walks on the surrounding islands offer a unique perspective of the delta as well as an opportunity to witness the abundant wildlife on foot. With the lower floodwaters of the green season we are able access the mainland by vehicle to offer our seasonal game-drives which allows for excellent game viewing on day and night drives. The perfect green season Okavango Delta camp with every activity available!
