Little Sable serves as the intimate sister camp to Sable Alley, tucked away in the heart of the expansive Khwai Private Reserve—a pristine 200,000-hectare wilderness area positioned between Chobe National Park and Moremi Game Reserve. Formerly known as Jackal & Hide and later Pangolin Camp, this property has been redesigned by Natural Selection to offer a relaxed yet authentic safari experience at genuinely excellent value. With just eight traditional Meru-style tented suites, the camp maintains a deliberately intimate atmosphere where the emphasis falls squarely on hospitality, comfort, and a touch of quirky personality. Set under mature trees overlooking vast open floodplains and shimmering grasslands, the camp occupies a prime wildlife-watching location where elephants, zebra, and antelope regularly graze right in front of the main areas.
The Khwai Private Reserve's diverse landscape encompasses mopane woodlands, riverine forests, meandering waterways, and seasonal floodplains that support an exceptional concentration of wildlife. This varied terrain attracts large elephant herds, healthy populations of buffalo, lions, leopards, spotted hyenas, and impressively large packs of wild dogs that have made the area famous among safari enthusiasts. The reserve's position means it benefits from wildlife movement between the two major protected areas it borders, creating consistently excellent game viewing year-round. Birdlife is equally spectacular, with hundreds of species including egrets, cranes, vultures, and various eagles.
Activities at Little Sable span the full spectrum of Delta experiences—classic morning and afternoon game drives in open vehicles with a maximum of six guests per vehicle, guided walking safaris for those interested in smaller details and birdwatching, and seasonal mokoro canoe trips plus motorboat excursions when water levels permit. The private concession allows for off-road tracking and thrilling night drives, while photography enthusiasts benefit from specially equipped vehicles and ground-level hides that deliver frame-worthy close encounters. As a special highlight, guests can book the Skybed experience—a night sleeping under the stars on elevated platforms available from April through October, adding an unforgettable dimension to the safari adventure.
