Set around a waterhole in the heart of the dry mopane forest, Elephant Pan is stylishly simple with guest accommodation in eight tents overlooking the waterhole with its big elephant action. In the morning, you’ll open your tent flaps straight on to the trumpeting elephant in the lily-filled waters below, spend your siesta watching herds splash and snort, and fall asleep to antelope grazing just outside your canvas walls. This isn’t a place for those looking for opulence and extravagance; it’s a private piece of big-game Africa, where the wildlife encounters are authentic, intimate and always wild.

Looking for a truly unique way to spend time in the bush? Then look no further than our fabulous Skybeds, located deep within the Khwai Private Reserve. As the name suggests, this is no ordinary safari camp. Each “room” is actually a three-story raised platform, overlooking the wildlife-spotted plains of Khwai. Charmingly rustic yet perfectly stylish, you’ll find a bathroom with flushing loo on the first floor, a dressing area, and the ultimate cherry on the top floor, an enormous double bed, draped in white linens and a feather duvet and completely open to the stars.
With such spectacular skies overhead, you could be forgiven for forgetting about what’s happening down below. But keep one eye on the ground, for the Skybeds overlook a busy waterhole. In one night we’ve seen wild dog, lion, elephant and hyena – and that’s just the beginning. So, whilst we can’t guarantee you’ll get much sleep, we can guarantee one of the wildest and most wonderful safari experiences you’ll ever have.
Please note that Skybeds can only be booked in combination with a stay at Hyena Pan, Tuludi, Sable Alley and Little Sable in Khwai Private Reserve.

Located just outside of Moremi Game Reserve, deep in the Okavango Delta, lies Mapula Lodge. Boasting 9 luxury chalets with unique and quirky locally handcrafted furnishings the atmosphere is natural and earthy.
The main area’s comfortable viewing deck, with soft inviting sofas, overlooks the hippo-filled lagoon. The cooling pool invites you to survey the beautiful tranquil vistas from a relaxed position.
Game viewing, in open vehicles, is particularly good in this area; the majestic riverine flora around the lodge is home to a huge variety of birds. Being in a permanent water area, Mapula Lodge’s water activities include poling mokoro’s peacefully through lily-filled channels. Walking safaris are offered with experienced guides; night drives offer a change of spotting the nocturnal species of the area. Hot air ballooning and scenic helicopter flights can be arranged at an additional cost.
The following recent comment says it all: “WOW WOW WOW. Do I need to say more? We loved this place and the wonderful people. This is definitely a place for people who are serious about their game viewing. The enthusiasm and the passion that is shown by the guides and the trackers, is unbelievable”.
