💡 Insider Tip
"Spend your afternoons in the exclusive viewing hide at Savute Elephant Lodge for unparalleled, eye-level photography of the majestic local herds."
Overview
The two luxurious Belmond Safaris lodges are set in the unspoilt wilderness of Northern Botswana. This is where the incredible Okavango Delta floods each year, attracting a breathtaking diversity of wildlife.
At Eagle Island Lodge, A Belmond Safari - stunningly designed to conjure up an explorer’s base - you can drift through the watery landscape on a mokoro canoe, spotting bright frogs and kingfishers.
Elephant are, not surprisingly, the main attraction at Savute Elephant Lodge, A Belmond Safari, recently relaunched with an exemplary new eco-friendly design, luxurious spa and viewing hide. The majestic inhabitants are drawn to the mysterious Savute Channel, which flows and dries up seemingly at whim.
Each lodge enjoys its own ecosystem, so the experience from one to the next is dramatically different. Together they form an incredible safari journey that will enchant the most seasoned traveler.
Sustainability Initiatives +
We’ve joined forces with Wild Entrust Africa to help mitigate the lethal conflict between predators and people in Northern Botswana. With the help of our partnership, six camera traps will assist the project’s ground-breaking scent-mark research, which keeps predators away from livestock and safely inside protected wildlife areas.
Our guests can visit the Wild Dog Research camp and listen to a Botswana Predator Conservation Programme researcher talk about their fascinating and invaluable work.
