Elephant Pan revels in its location, tucked deep within the sandy mopane forests of the drier interior of Khwai Private Reserve. This laid-back camp sits beside a busy waterhole that draws wildlife throughout the day, giving guests a front-row seat to the action. If you’ve always wanted to get up close to ellies, this is the place. Stylishly simple in design, the camp offers eight canvas tents overlooking the bustling waterhole. Mornings begin with the sound of elephants trumpeting as you open your tent flaps, afternoons are spent watching herds splash and snort in the shallows, and evenings unfold around the camp fire. This isn’t a place for opulence or extravagance. Elephant Pan is a private corner of big-game Africa where the wildlife encounters are authentic, intimate and always wild.

For those who have ever dreamed of sleeping beneath the African sky, Skybeds offers one of the most unforgettable ways to spend a night in the bush. Set deep within the Khwai Private Reserve in the Okavango Delta, this unique sleep-out experience places guests right in the heart of the wild. Each of the three raised platforms is three-storeys and overlooks a busy waterhole, while the top level features a comfortable double bed open to the stars – allowing you to drift off beneath vast African skies as wildlife moves quietly below. Skybeds strips safari back to something beautifully elemental – the sounds of the bush, the glow of the fire, and a million stars overhead. Please note: Skybeds can only be booked in combination with a stay at Elephant Pan, Tuludi, Sable Alley or Little Sable within the Khwai Private Reserve.
