Savute Under Canvas

Savute Under Canvas offers an authentic mobile-camping experience, without forgoing many of the comforts of a semi-permanent tented camp. The camp utilises a number of different private campsites in the Savuti area of Botswana’s Chobe National Park, moving every five days in accordance with national-park regulations.

Savute Under Canvas also has a sister camp, Chobe Under Canvas, which operates on the same lines along the Chobe Riverfront.

Savute Under Canvas has five Meru-style tents, accommodating up to ten guests. These traditional walk-in safari tents are constructed of green canvas with mesh windows and a zippered entrance. A canvas flysheet gives added shade, and shelters the front of the tent, where a couple of camp chairs provide a place to relax and enjoy the surrounding bush.

Each tent is furnished with twin beds (or a double) with quality bedding: some of the most comfortable beds we have slept in! There are sisal mats on the floor, and bedside tables with battery-powered hurricane lamps. One will also find a luggage trunk, a hanging rail and canvas hanging shelving with linen dressing gowns, insect repellent and spray, and a laundry bag. There are no cooling fans or plug points in the tents but guests can charge batteries in the safari vehicles.
