SAVUTE ELEPHANT LODGE, A BELMOND SAFARI
Lying on the edge of Botswana’s mysterious Savute Channel, showcasing the high density of elephants known to call this region home, Savute Elephant Lodge is a sustainable design case study. The 12 one-bedroom suites and main areas pay tribute to the golden age of exploration and aptly evoke a sense of adventure and discovery while remaining sophisticated and fresh. Incorporating unique textures and natural earthy colors, relaxation is inevitable in such a visually calming landscape. The main areas feature a serenity pool, a spa tent, and a firepit for mingling. With the addition of a new viewing hide near the camp, guests can view wildlife including elephants and leopards drinking from the local watering hole.
Luxury Frontiers completed the full redesign and refurbishment of the beloved lodge, including the back and front of house, and infrastructure, applying our sustainability framework to ensure minimal impact on the environmental haven.
