Sable Alley Camp

Idyllic setting for a night cap and recount the days adventure!

Meals are served either in the indoor dining area, or alfresco on the deck, or under the twinkling stars and to the rumblings and grumblings of the wildlife.

A mokoro trip immediately slows the pace down and allows you to gently cruise through the water channels amongst the lily pads. Please note that these activities are water level dependent.

Game drives in Khwai Private Reserve, a 200 000-hectare private concession take place in the morning and afternoon. The Reserve is home to lion, elephants, wild dog and even the elusive sable antelope as well as prolific bird life. First up, the predators – and there are plenty of them in Khwai. Keep a lookout for leopard, lion, cheetah and wild dog, concealed from unsuspecting antelope in the grassy bushes. Then you’ll see hundred-strong herds of buffalo barreling across the landscape, and enormous herds of elephants, trunks swinging and ears flapping. Lastly, keep a lookout for the smaller animals: impala drinking tentatively from pools, baboons shouting from trees, and sable and roan antelope, seemingly posing for your camera.

Watch the happenings at the lagoon from the bar, G&T in hand, from the outdoor fire pit, or from a squashy sofa in the lounge. The swimming pool and sun deck are both unique spots from which to watch the hippo pods emerge from the lagoon, or simply for some chill-out time in the heat of the day.

This pool is perfect for guests who enjoy a swim as part of their workout, while enjoying great views. Alternatively soak up the rays and relax beside the pool in our loungers with a good book.

Head out from camp (with your guide) and enjoy a walk through the wilderness; this is a perfect opportunity to stretch your legs and have a chance to experience a new perspective to your surroundings.
