Day 1
On arrival at Maun Airport, you will be greeted by an Africa by Heart representative and then transferred by light aircraft to Little Sable for a three-night stay.
Little Sable is situated in a private concession, the Khwai Private Reserve and boasts an array of wildlife. At Little Sable there is something to see around every corner and a different activity to enjoy every day. Enjoy classic game drives mokoro trips and boat safaris.
The camp features 8 Traditional Tents, allowing the owners to focus on hospitality and comfort. Each canvas tent offers a stylish yet relaxed safari experience. The tents are cosy and private boasting large King-size beds, writing desks, cool en-suite bathrooms, outside showers and private viewing decks with views across the shimmering grasslands.
Khwai Private Reserve is a 200 000 hectare private reserve positioned between the Chobe National Park and the Moremi Game Reserve. The reserve thus benefits from the through-flow of magnificent wildlife from those important and productive areas. The Khwai Private Reserve is one of the most beautifully iconic landscapes in Botswana. Mopane clusters jostle for space within riverine forest, pretty waterholes dot the floodplains, and waterways wind their way across the landscape from the mighty Khwai River.
Bursting with all signature wildlife, large herds of elephants take their bath next to hippos, whilst being watched by lechwe antelopes. Photogenic leopards, spotted hyenas and large packs of wild dogs will make the heart of any wildlife lover beat faster. Every now and then prides of lions can be seen. There are of course also uncountable bird species, especially egrets, cranes, vultures, and different species of eagles, specialising in catching catfish.
