Hotel overview

One of the newest accommodations in the area, Ghoha Hills commands a fantastic location on the hillside, with wide sweeping views over the surrounding plains. The lodge consists of eleven rooms (including two family rooms) and a central communal area for dining and relaxation. There is a waterhole at the foot of the hill below the lodge which is increasingly popular with wildlife in the area. Activities focus on game drives within the Savuti area of the Chobe National Park, and the remote location lends itself to star-gazing as the nights draw in.

Game Drives (Savute)

The outstanding game drives within the Savute area can vary considerably depending upon the time of the year. Extended game drives with top guides are included in your safari at all of the Savute accommodation that we recommend. It's usually an early start for breakfast before setting off on a drive as the sun slowly rises: a cool but utterly enchanting time to be on the road, as the bush slowly wakes up and wildlife emerges to face the day. There are frequent stops to view animals, learn about the flora and fauna from your guide, take photographs and enjoy refreshments. Stays of any significant length will include drives that visit the Savute Marsh and the now-flowing Savute Channel, where water birds, hippos and happy elephants can be found. Elsewhere, in the scrubby woodland areas close to camp and on the marsh itself, lion and hyena are the dominant predators, while big herds of elephant can be seen for most of the year and there are some notable solitary old bulls that your guide will identify. Prides of lion in this area have actually been known to hunt elephants during more desperate times, captured for posterity on nature documentaries that you might well have seen, Night drives are not possible as Savute is within the Chobe National Park, but you might still see leopard in the scattered kopjes close to camp.

Excursion

Mobile Safaris (Savute)

Mobile safaris essentially involve moving from one destination to the next, with short stays at each, using temporary camps that are set up anew at each site. These are outstanding in Botswana, partially as a potential way to visit the highlights without breaking the bank, and also as a means of getting a vintage, old fashioned safari ambience with a close to nature feel. Most of the classic Botswana mobile routes spend time in the Savute Area, which has always been a relatively welcoming camping spot for those that are able to make it there! Different levels of comfort are offered, from relative “luxury camps” with spacious en-suite tents, to simpler dome tents with shared ablutions. Activities tend to revolve around game drives in Savute, which is also the case for stays at permanent lodges, although you may also get to visit the ancient Bushman rock art sites in the Gubatsa Hills. Some of the attractions include a morning coffee after waking up to the sun streaming through your tent, evening drinks around a roaring campfire and, of course, the sound of animals around camp as you drop off to sleep after a rewarding day’s game viewing.
