SABLE ALLEY

Located right on the banks of a lily-covered lagoon, home to snorting hippo and a favourite drinking spot for elephant and buffalo, big game is often present. Khwai offers an excellent and exclusive safari experience: lion, leopard, wild dog, buffalo, elephant and hundreds of dainty antelope are out on the plains while you discover diverse landscapes.

Each canvas-walled suite is a huge 55 square metres, and comes complete with mini-indoor seating area, writing desk, double bed, and Afro-chic décor opening onto uninterrupted views of the lagoon. At the back, you’ll find two basins, and indoor shower and a flush loo, and also an outdoor shower with a view too.

The lagoon remains the main areas focus, from the bar, G&T in hand, or the outdoor fire pit, or from a squashy sofa in the lounge. At night, dinner is served either in the indoor dining area, or alfresco on the deck. There is also a swimming pool and sun deck, both good for observing the surroundings.
