Savegre Lodge Natural Reserve : A Wildlife Photographer’s Paradise

With the afternoon to ourselves, we spent time around Savegre Lodge Natural Reserve capturing images of the wonderful birds that call this place home. The lodge, nestled at an altitude of 7000 feet within a vast cloud forest reserve near Los Quetzales National Park, is a true paradise for wildlife enthusiasts, and the surrounding areas are a haven for wildlife.

Savegre Lodge’s gardens

Hosting nearly 200 bird species, Savegre Lodge is a birdwatcher’s dream. During our visit we were able spot a remarkable variety of species. From the vibrant Tanagers with their striking colors to the mesmerizing Hummingbirds that seemed to defy gravity with their aerial acrobatics, 

But the charm of Savegre Lodge extends beyond its avian residents. The entire region is a testament to the rich biodiversity of Costa Rica’s cloud forests. Exploring the lush forests surrounding the lodge, we encountered a variety of species. These included colorful butterflies to curious mammals like the Coatis, Squirrels and Agoutis. The flora was equally captivating, with an array of orchids and exotic flowers. Even the gardens around the cabins were full of succulents which attracted the wildlife.

This pristine environment underscores the importance of Costa Rica’s conservation efforts. Savegre Lodge Natural Reserve provides a unique opportunity to experience and appreciate the wonders of the cloud forest. Our time there was not just about capturing stunning photographs; it was also a chance to connect and relax. Then we’d be moving down to the Pacific coast and on to the Osa Peninsula and Drakes Bay

For those who are looking for a place to photograph the wildlife of this region in comfort Savegre Lodge is a destination that should not be missed. It offers a glimpse into the diverse and captivating wildlife of the Costa Rican cloud forest, making it a wonderful experience for all who visit.
