Location
Set in the heart of Botswana’s Okavango Delta, the wildlife-rich Khwai Private Reserve occupies 200,000 hectares of diverse wilderness, including an eclectic mix of floodplains, grasslands, riverine forests, and mopane woodlands. Sable Alley sits on the banks of a lily-covered lagoon where hippos wallow and elephants gather to drink, this stylish safari camp offers front-row seats to Africa’s most captivating wildlife encounters.
Accommodation
The sophisticated yet authentic camp is home to twelve stylish tents which exude traditional African charm and contemporary luxury. Each canvas-walled suite features plush double or twin beds, comfortable indoor seating areas, ensuite bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers and a large private veranda with uninterrupted views of the lagoon.
Dining
At Sable Alley, the communal spaces are designed to immerse you in the beauty of the Okavango Delta. The open-air lounge, furnished with plush sofas, invites you to relax and take in uninterrupted views of the shimmering lagoon, where elephants, hippos, and antelope gather to drink. Enjoy a perfectly crafted drink from the well-stocked bar, swapping safari stories with fellow guests, or settle into a fireside armchair at the outdoor fire pit. As dusk falls, dinner is a magical affair—whether served in the elegant indoor dining area or alfresco on the deck beneath a canopy of stars, each meal is accompanied by the distant roars of lions, the trumpeting of elephants, and the soft chorus of the bush.
Facilities
Expert led game drives bring you face-to-face with a host of wildlife including leopards, lions, and wild dogs, while mokoro canoe excursions offer a different perspective of the delta. Enjoy sightings of buffalo, zebra, antelope and impala during morning, afternoon and evening game drives. Cool off from a day spent adventuring by the refreshing swimming pool, which provides another vantage point from which to observe wildlife emerging from the lagoon. Then, sundowners by the fire-pit invite you to relive the day’s adventures under a canopy of stars.
