AROUND THE LODGE

Somewhere to Be Between Drives

A safari day at Ghoha Hills Savuti has a long gap in the middle of it. The morning drive goes out before breakfast has properly settled and comes back toward lunch, and the afternoon one does not leave until the heat has gone out of the day. The hours in between are what the lodge is built for.

Everything sits on the same slope and faces the same way. The rock pool has its own deck a short walk from the main area, the spa is in a separate building beside the gym with the plains in front of it, and the thatched main lodge holds the bar, the dining space and a handful of small lounges above an active waterhole. Wildlife carries on below while you are doing nothing much at all.

DINING

Main Lodge

The thatched main area is the social centre of the lodge, with an open dining space, a bar and several small lounges spread across viewing decks. All of it faces an active waterhole below and the 180 degree sweep of the Savuti Plains beyond.

DINING

Dining

Meals move around the lodge through the day. Breakfast goes out before the morning drive, lunch and high tea land between activities, and dinner is served in the thatched dining area, on the deck or around the boma fire. The cooking is locally inspired.

ARRIVAL

Swimming Pool

A natural rock pool sits on its own deck, reached easily from the main area. It looks down over the active waterhole and out across the Savuti Plains, and the middle of a hot day is exactly when most guests end up in it.

IN THE FOREST

Gym

A compact gym holds a multi-station machine, a stationary bike, a dumbbell set and yoga mats. It is enough to keep a routine going through a stay, with the stillness of the bush on the other side of the wall.

ARRIVAL

Boma Firepit

The boma is a campfire area under open sky, and most evenings end there. Guests gather around the fire after dinner to go back over what the day turned up, with the sounds of the surrounding bush carrying in from the dark.

IN THE FOREST

Library

A shelf of books on animals, flora and natural history sits in the main area, for the slow hours between the morning and afternoon drives. It is a good place to work out exactly what it was you saw earlier.

DINING

Curio Shop

The curio shop carries a small selection to take home from Savuti, and accepts both cash and card payments, which is worth knowing somewhere this far from a town.

POOLSIDE

Laundry Service

A daily laundry service is included for every guest. On a trip where air transfers cap luggage at 20kg in a soft bag, that changes what you need to pack, and most guests end up travelling with less than they expected to.

DINING

Solar Power and Waste

The lodge runs on a solar farm supplying its renewable energy, alongside modern waste disposal systems. Ghoha Hills Savuti holds an Eco Tourism certification for the low impact it keeps on the land, which is the condition of operating inside a national park.

POOLSIDE

Wi-Fi and Communications

Wi-Fi reaches the main area and the pool deck. There is no telephone communication at the lodge, which keeps a satellite phone and a radio for emergencies, and every suite carries an air horn. Expect to be largely out of contact while you are in Savuti.

 

DOWNTIME

The Hours Between Drives

A Treatment Room Above the Plains

The spa sits in its own building beside the gym, opening out toward the plains below. A range of massage treatments is available through the day, and the quiet stretch after lunch is when most guests take one. Treatments are arranged at the lodge during your stay.

OUT ON THE PLAINS

Do More in Savuti

Guided drives morning and afternoon, longer excursions out to the marsh and the rock art, and the birds, the stars and the sundowners that fill in around them.

Savuti Excursions

A full day out to the Savuti Marsh, taking in the Baobab Theatre, the Bushman rock paintings and Pimple Hills, with a picnic lunch along the way. The excursion runs for guests staying two nights or more, which is worth knowing when you plan the trip.

Sundowner Drives

The afternoon drive runs around two hours and finishes with a drink somewhere chosen for the light. Sundowners are set up beneath the ancient baobabs or at the hide overlooking the waterhole, and the vehicle is back at the lodge by the time it is properly dark.
Find Out More

Birdwatching

The Savuti region draws a wide range of resident and migratory species, and the birding needs no separate outing. It happens on the drives, around the main area, and from your own viewing deck with a coffee, which is where a fair amount of it gets done.

Stargazing

There is almost no light pollution in this part of Chobe, so the night sky over Savuti comes out exceptionally clear. Guests watch it from the lodge decks or from around the boma fire after dinner, usually without anyone having planned to.

Private Dining

Private dinners can be arranged for an occasion, or simply for an evening on your own, set up in a chosen spot within the main lodge area. Speak to the lodge during your stay and the team will put it together.

Spa Treatments

The spa occupies its own building beside the gym, opening toward the plains below. Massage treatments run through the day and suit the quiet stretch after lunch, when the heat is up and the afternoon drive has not yet left.
