Little Sable
Khwai Private Concession
Accommodation
Little Sable, the smaller counterpart to Sable Alley, is slightly more affordable, simpler, and closer to the bush than its bigger sister camp.
The main area comprises a lounge and dining area with a large terrace and a fire pit, perfect for that first cup of tea in the morning or a gin and tonic in the early evening. The area is located directly in front of a popular grazing area for zebras and elephants, making it a fantastic place to observe wildlife during siesta time – or at any time of day, for that matter.
The pool area is located slightly away from the main building. The pool building consists of a two-story house with a viewing platform on the upper floor and seating and sun loungers in the lower area by the pool.
The six double rooms and two family tents are located along the edge of the forest and offer en-suite bathrooms, indoor and outdoor showers, and a private veranda. The tents are slightly elevated on wooden platforms, offering a good view over the grasslands.
Location
The massive 200,000 hectare Khwai Private Reserve (NG18) comprises some of the most fantastically diverse habitats in northern Botswana, including riverine woodlands, open floodplains, rivers and mopane woodland. The reserve lies in the north-eastern corner of the Okavango Delta adjoining the Moremi Game Reserve. NG18 is a private concession and in contrast to neighbouring NG19 self-drivers and mobile safari operators are not allowed to enter the reserve.
It is a thirty minutes flight from Maun or 60 minutes from Kasane to the Khwai Private Airstrip (Banoka), followed by a 40-minute drive to camp.
Camps in the concession include Sable Alley, the more exclusive Tuludi, the adventurous Skybeds, Little Sable and Elephant Pan Camp.
Wildlife
The life source for this area is the Khwai River - the northernmost "finger" of the Okavango Delta alluvial fan. It supports large animals such as hippo and crocodile with buffalo and red lechwe often seen grazing along the fringe. The area is a mix of woodland, floodplains, swamps and grassland, making it a paradise for zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, elephant, leopard, lion, baboon. Even wild dog and cheetah can be found in the area.
Activities
Game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, mokoro rides (water permitting), boat trips, walking safaris (12 yeary+), fishing (seasonal March to Dec).
