Khwai Private Reserve, one of Botswana’s best kept secrets, is home to Sable Alley. This light, bright camp showcases comfortable luxury amid the game rich floodplains of Khwai. The canvas sided rooms have spacious, beautifully designed interiors with a large veranda encouraging relaxation in the afternoon; the main area exudes comfort with large be-cushioned sofas and stylish accessories that reflect the natural surroundings. For those hot days, we have a refreshing pool overlooking the lagoon. The cuisine mirrors the accommodation - modern, stylish...and delicious.
Located right on the banks of the lily-covered lagoon, home to hippo and a favourite drinking spot for elephant and buffalo, the big game quite literally comes to you. As tempting as it is to stay in camp, venture out you should, for Khwai offers one of Africa’s greatest and most exclusive safari experiences. Remember to have your binos ready for lion, leopard, wild dogs and more as you drive through the diverse landscapes.
The camp is not only sophisticated and sustainable but we’re also partnered with local communities in Khwai, which make up the majority of our staff. Proceeds from staying at Sable Alley go straight back into the Khwai Village community projects, as well as various wildlife initiatives.
