Little Sable (Okavango Delta)

Little Sable in Khwai, Okavango Delta

Little Sable in Khwai Private Reserve offers an authentic Okavango safari experience. The little sister to Sable Alley, Little Sable is a relaxed yet intimate hideout in the heart of the game rich Khwai Private Reserve. It is one of the best managed private 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. The reserve is bordered by Moremi to the south. Savuti to the north. And the Khwai Community Reserve to the east. In other words, in the middle of some of the most famous and iconic game-viewing areas on the continent!

Little Sable Facilities

In the main area, a sunken lounge and fire pit take pride in place. They make the perfect spot for that first cuppa in the morning or an early evening G&T. Located just in front of a favorite grazing spot for zebra and elephant. It’s a fabulous wildlife watching base during siesta time too. Or at any time of day for that matter. Under the thatch, the bar, lounge, and dining areas are subtly stylish. Offering a touch of old world English heritage mixed with the ambiance of African-inspired creativity.

When to visit

Little Sable is open all year with excellent game viewing throughout the seasons.

From May until early October, the Okavango Delta is in flood. Therefore, this is the best time of year to get your water based game viewing fix. The seasonal channels emerge and the waterways are glistening and full. The perfect conditions for a mokoro safari or a boat trip. This is also traditionally the ‘best’ time of year to visit. The skies are blue and full of sunshine, and the iconic wildlife is out in force. A photographer’s delight!

In December, the sky begins to darken and the clouds become heavy with rain. The showers are, however, short and sporadic and certainly shouldn’t stop you from heading out on game drives or walks. Game wise, the animals may be slightly more spread out but that certainly doesn’t mean they’re not there.

Dry season: April until October
Green season: November until March
