Sable Alley offers chic tented stays, incredible wildlife viewing, and a serene lagoon setting in Botswana’s Khwai Private Reserve.
Location: Sable Alley lies within the heart of Botswana’s Khwai Private Reserve, a vast 200,000-hectare wilderness bordering the Moremi Game Reserve. Set beside a tranquil lagoon frequented by elephants and hippos, the camp enjoys an exceptional position for both water- and land-based safaris. Remote yet accessible, it offers seclusion without compromising on adventure.
Rooms: The camp features ten spacious double or twin tents and two family units, each elevated on wooden decking and styled in an elegant Afro-chic aesthetic. At 55 square metres, every tent offers indoor and outdoor showers, flush toilets, and dual vanities. Mesh windows allow for natural airflow and wildlife views, while a private veranda offers uninterrupted panoramas of the lagoon and floodplains.
Amenities: Sable Alley blends comfort and sophistication. The central lounge and dining area opens out to a plunge pool with lagoon views, perfect for cooling off between safaris. Indoors, you’ll find cosy seating, thoughtful details like writing desks, and a warm, relaxed atmosphere. Meals are fresh and hearty, served communally or privately depending on your preference.
Activities: Explore the reserve on expertly guided game drives, mokoro (dugout canoe) excursions, and boating safaris (seasonal). Walking safaris are available with advance booking. This region is rich in wildlife, including lions, leopards, elephants, and wild dogs, offering rewarding encounters across diverse terrain.
Sustainability: Sable Alley is constructed with a light footprint, using raised decks and eco-friendly materials to protect the environment. The camp supports community initiatives and conservation efforts within the Khwai Private Reserve, helping preserve this extraordinary landscape.
