About

Savé Valley Conservancy is a large stretch of private wild country in the south-east lowveld, near Chichindwe. It suits people who want quiet bush time and serious game viewing rather than a busy resort feel. It is rated 4.2 from around 300 Google reviews.

Reviewers keep returning to the wildlife. One visitor lists the Big Five along with elephant, giraffe, rhino and plenty of antelope, and also mentions the birds and the old trees. Another describes it as a raw, authentic African experience, where local communities live alongside the animals.

That same guest mentions game drives, fishing and hunting, good food and a comfortable bed. So at least some of the places to stay inside the conservancy are properly set up rather than bare bush camps. Others simply value the silence. One reviewer calls it a place to get away from the noise and take in an unspoilt landscape.

The written reviews say little about roads, facilities or booking. Plan those details with whichever camp or lodge you are staying at before you set off.
