Belmond’s escapes in Southern Africa embrace two thrillingly different safari experiences in Northern Botswana. The two luxurious safari lodges are set in diverse ecosystems. Eagle Island Lodge is in the heart of the Okavango Delta. Savute Elephant Lodge sits beside the mysterious Savute Channel. Each offers experienced guides, rich wildlife encounters, and unique activities. Together, they form a journey to enchant even the most seasoned traveler. At its heart, Eagle Island Lodge is sustainably designed to conjure up an explorer’s base. Guests can drift through the watery landscape on mokoro canoes, spotting bright frogs and kingfishers, or set off on exhilarating helicopter and horseback safaris in the dry season. Elephants are, not surprisingly, the main attraction at Savute Elephant Lodge, which boasts an exemplary eco-friendly design, luxurious spa, and viewing hide. The majestic inhabitants are drawn to the mysterious Savute Channel, which flows seemingly at whim. With indulgent and elegant tented rooms, feasts of local delicacies, and camps perfectly positioned for game spotting, Belmond safaris sizzle with savannah magic.
