Sable Alley

Not only is Khwai Private Reserve one of Botswana’s best kept secrets, it’s also home to the lovely Sable Alley. Sable Alley is a piece of light, bright and beautiful luxury amid the game-rich floodplains of Khwai.

There’s no denying that Sable is spacious, sophisticated and really quite stylish. Each canvas-walled suite is huge, and comes complete with mini-indoor seating area, writing desk, double bed, and some seriously Afro-chic décor. Slide open the screen doors at the front for uninterrupted views of the lagoon, or take a seat on the veranda for a closer inspection. At the back, you’ll find two basins, and indoor & outdoor shower and a flush loo.

Just like the bedrooms, the communal areas are designed around the views. Watch the happenings at the lagoon from the bar, from the outdoor fire pit, or from a squashy sofa in the lounge. Dinner is served either in the indoor dining area, or alfresco. We’ve also added a swimming pool and sun deck, 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. Activities include day and night safari dries, boating safaris and guided walking safaris.
