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.
Three double storey Skybed platforms overlook a waterhole. The lower level features a private bathroom with a shower and flushing loo, along with a dressing area. One level above, a sheltered dome tent with two single beds offers a cosy alternative should the weather turn. At the very top sits the highlight, a spacious double bed draped in mosquito netting and completely open to the African sky.
