The Camp

Little Sable

Little Sable is in the heart of the Khwai Private Reserve in the Okavango Delta. It is the smaller sister camp to Sable Alley: relaxed and personal, with good game viewing in one of the most productive parts of the Delta.

There are only eight traditional safari tents, raised on wooden platforms to make the most of the view over the grassland. Each has a king-size bed that can be made up as twins, a ceiling fan, an en-suite bathroom with indoor and outdoor showers and a private verandah.

The lounge, bar and dining areas open onto a long deck and fire pit, looking over a favourite grazing spot for zebra and elephant. There is a pool for the hot hours, and days are spent on game drives, mokoro and boat trips, and birding.
