Set in the north of Botswana, well within the Chobe National Park, Savute is perhaps one of the best-known game-viewing areas in the country.

Under ideal conditions, the number and variety of animals to be seen can be staggering.

Savute is known especially for its elephants and particularly as an area preferred by lone bulls.

More docile than the cows, these gentle giants are quite at home among the parked cars and campsites - they have been observed stepping delicately between guyropes without touching  them or damaging the tents !

Be warned, though.
Docility does not prevent these animals from seeking a little variety in their diet ...... one person had the boot of his car destroyed when a bull used his tusks as a tin-opener to get at the oranges he could smell inside !

Under no circumstances feel tempted to feed the elephants.
