Little Sable

Okavango Delta, Botswana

Relaxed and intimate

As the little sister toSable Alley camp, Little Sable is a relaxed yet intimate hideout in the heart of the game-rich Khwai Private Reserve, a private concession in Botswana’s Okavango Delta.

With just eight rooms it is wonderfully peaceful and intimate, with an emphasis on relaxed hospitability. Each room is a cosy retreat from the elements and all have wonderfully large beds (that can also be twins), writing desks, cool en suite bathrooms, outside showers and private viewing decks with views across the shimmering grasslands. The main area offers a bright lounge and dining area with extended outside decking and a large fire pit which makes the perfect spot for morning tea or an early evening G&T. Located just in front of a favourite grazing spot for zebra and elephant, it’s also a fabulous wildlife-watching base. Under thatch, the bar, lounge and dining areas are stylish but retain a sense of old world African safari charm.

Khwai Private Reserve is one of the best-managed private concessions in the greater Okavango Delta and the activities focus on discovering its many facets. Choose between morning and afternoon game drives, punting through the waterways on a dugout canoe, settling into a hide for some up-close-and-personal wildlife encounters, and sleeping under the stars on a skybed platform.

Little Sable places you in one of the world’s finest wildlife habitats and the experience is remarkable.

Thank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip. The transfers went smoothly, the accommodation was excellent, the drivers were amazing as they manoeuvred through the traffic and every tour guide had a great deal of knowledge and information. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The contrast of poverty and riches of the country was striking, from the beggars in the street and struggles of the poor to the spectacular, impressive sights of the forts and monuments. There were so many highlights. A moment in time that will never happen again.

Exellent and wonderful, reaching way above expectations.

We wanted the opportunity to see as many wildlife parks as possible and the Classic Safari Company provided an action-packed itinerary that included six, with 11 tiger sightings and nine leopard. This was overlaid with an introduction to Jaisalmer, Jaipur and the 'real' India. Pench and Panna were the hidden gems of a really great trip, very well organised, seamless and enjoyable. As a solo traveller I felt incredibly safe at all times. I want to go back!

Mark Taylor
