Little Sable is an intimate tented retreat, located amidst the shimmering grasslands of the Khwai Private Reserve, one of the best-managed concessions in the greater Okavango Delta. The free-spirited little sister to Sable Alley, Little Sable is a relaxed yet stylish hideout in the heart of this game-rich reserve.

The main area, where a sunken lounge and fire pit take pride of place, makes the perfect spot for your morning cuppa or evening sundowner. Located just in front of a favourite grazing spot for zebra and elephant, it is a fabulous wildlife-watching base during siesta time as well - or at any time of day for that matter. Under the thatch, the bar, lounge and dining areas are subtly stylish, dotted with sunny cushions and black and white artworks.

With only 8, Meru-style tents, this is an intimate camp with an emphasis on hospitality, comfort and a touch of Natural Selection quirkiness! Each room is a cosy retreat from the elements and all have wonderfully large King-size beds (that can also be twins), writing desks, cool en-suite bathrooms, outside showers and private verandas with views across the grasslands.

The tents are given shelter by trees and are situated amidst the bushes alongside the main area. This means that they are shaded and cool, which in this area is certainly a perk.

Little Sable is located in the Khwai Private Reserve, a 200,000-hectare area of pristine wilderness in the Greater Okavango Delta region. Bordered by Moremi to the south, Savuti to the north and the Khwai Community Reserve to the east, it truly is perfectly located in the middle of some of the most famous and iconic game-viewing areas on the continent! 

The varied habitats of Khwai allow for an impressive diversity of animals. The wetlands and rivers host impressive numbers of lechwe, hippos and crocodiles, whilst on dry land, magnificent big cats make their appearances along the treelines and sometimes traverse right through the camp. Sable, roan, impala, and kudu can be found dotted across the grasslands, alongside zebra and giraffe, an abundance of elephant and buffalo, and of course, the occasional jackal. The birdlife is phenomenal with guests being able to spot everything from giant eagle owls to lilac-breasted rollers. Khwai is also well known for its rarer sightings, including wild dogs, serval cats, honey badgers, and the elusive pangolin.

Activities include morning, afternoon and evening game drives. Punt through the waterways of Khwai on a mokoro (dugout canoe) excursion or boat trip (water levels permitting).

Visit one of the ground-level hides for truly up-close-and-personal encounters with the wildlife.

Little Sable is open all year round and for very good reason. Although each month has its quirks and challenges, wildlife watching is phenomenal in every season.
