Little Sable
Overview
Set in the heart of the wildlife-rich Khwai Private Reserve, Little Sable Camp is a stylish yet relaxed camp offering an intimate Okavango Delta safari experience.
The smaller sister camp to Sable Alley, Little Sable combines warm hospitality with excellent wildlife viewing in one of the Delta’s most productive areas.
With just eight traditional safari tents, the camp has a wonderfully personal feel. Each tent features king-size beds (convertible to twins), ensuite bathrooms, outdoor showers and private viewing decks overlooking the surrounding grasslands.
At the heart of camp, the lounge, bar and dining areas open onto an extended deck and firepit overlooking a favourite grazing area for zebra and elephant. There is also a swimming pool – the perfect place to cool off and relax between activities while watching wildlife move quietly across the plains.
Days are spent exploring Khwai on game drives, mokoro excursions and boat trips (water levels permitting), discovering a rich variety of wildlife including elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard and many rarer species.
