Dear MissPark709, The lodge refurbishment date has not been confirmed yet, there is still a lengthy process ahead, but we will be sure to announce any refurbishments on our social media page, if you wish to follow us @belmondsafaris you will receive our updates on the refurbishment developments. Warm regards Louise

Hello, thank you for your questions. We do sometimes turn the generators off during the night, but if you have a specific request to keep it on for you, we will most certainly do so. Guests will often stay for 2-3 nights per lodge, as each of our lodges are located in a different eco system, so it's a good way to experience the different parts of Botswana. The flight time between the lodges are approx 30-40 minutes. These flights are so scenic, and you will enjoy seeing the landscape and wildlife from the air. The flights are also air-conditioned once airborne. Hope to welcome you at our lodges in the near future. Warm regards Louise

Hello, There are 14 rooms and one suite at the lodge. Regards Louise

Dear TacomaAnna, We do turn the power off at night in general, but we do keep it on at request and we will be sure to accommodate you. Kindly advise the reservations team at time of booking and it will be taken care of. Warm regards Louise

Dear TacomaAnn, These rare species are more prevalent at our Belmond Savute Elephant Lodge in the Savute area of the Chobe National Park. Unfortunately their behaviour isn't predicable and we are restricted to stay on the main routes, so to try track them is possible, but we might not be able to follow their path. There is a permanent watering hole at the lodge, and we have seen the sable antelope and eland nearby the lodge. I have asked our Head Environmentalist, Onx Manga, for his expertise and will follow up as soon as I've heard back from him. Best regards Louise
