Little Sable
The intimate, tented retreat is located amid the shimmering grasslands of the Khwai Private Reserve, one of the best-managed concessions in the greater Okavango Delta. Up here, there’s something to see around every corner and a different activity to enjoy every day, from classic game drives to mokoro trips and boat safaris. And the best bit of all is that this iconic safari experience is all yours for an extremely affordable price.
This unfussy camp has 8 rooms all simply furnished with a touch of quirkiness that you would come to expect from a Natural Selection lodge. For many years the lodge has been a site for hosting photographic trips, a result of the abounding wildlife populating the grasslands and wetlands including road, sable, crocodile, hippo and elephant. This is the perfect place for enjoying classic safari components at affordable rates.
