Sable Alley is a piece of light, bright and beautiful luxury amid the game-rich floodplains of the massive 440,000 acre Khwai Private Reserve – a natural extension to the Moremi ecosystem – and the best news is that Sable Alley is as sustainable as it is sophisticated.  Each canvas-walled suite is over 590 square feet and comes complete with mini-indoor seating area, writing desk, double bed and en-suite facilities with two basin, flush loo and indoor shower.  There’s an outdoor shower with a view, too.

The communal areas are designed around the spectacular vistas – from the bar, from the outdoor fire pit, or from the lounge. At night, dinner is served either in the indoor dining area, or alfresco on the deck, accompanied by twinkling stars and the rumblings and grumblings of the wildlife. The swimming pool and sun deck also ideal spots from which to watch wildlife, or simply chill-out time in the heat of the day.

Located right on the banks of a lily-covered lagoon, home to harrumphing hippo and a favorite drinking spot for elephant and buffalo, the big game quite literally comes to you at Sable. But as tempting as it is to stay in camp, guests should venture out, for Khwai offers one of Africa’s greatest and most exclusive safari experiences. There’s an exciting range of activities including day and evening game drives, mokoro (dugout canoe) excursions (when water levels permit), game walks and viewing hides.

Perched high on the eastern side of the Ghoha Hills, this hilltop retreat boasts unparalleled 180 degree views across the savannah and the natural waterhole which attracts wildlife year round. To the south east of the lodge, the Savuti Marsh beckons with its unique game viewing opportunities. The Marsh is a relic of an inland lake which is fed by the Savuti channel. Covered by extensive savannah and rolling grasslands, the wildlife is dynamic year round. The dry and wet seasons change the scenery and offer sightings of the annual migrations of zebras and predators.

Elegance abounds in the eleven well-appointed canvas suites, which have been elevated on wooden decks, ensuring spectacular sunrise views. The luxury suites are spacious with large double beds draped with mosquito nets, and armchairs set to enjoy the panorama. The en-suite bathrooms have double basins, twin towel racks, flush toilet and showers that make you feel like you’re on the cliff’s edge. Room amenities include Roof fan & standing fan, power point for charging photographic equipment and cell phones, gowns, slippers, mosquito net, flashlight and air horn (in case of emergency). There’s a separate dressing area. The generous mesh windows and sliding doors create a never-ending sense of space. The bedroom leads out to a private viewing deck from where you can watch wildlife at the waterhole.

The stone, wood and thatch lounge, bar and open dining area fit naturally into the side of Ghoha Hill. There are several stately wooden dining tables spread across the spacious room where the majority of the indulgent meals are served, but dining also takes place around the fire pit downstairs. The lounge leads on from the dining room and extends onto the outer deck and is tastefully decorated with light earthy colours. There’s another lounge upstairs ensuring ample room to unwind and relax. And perched on the edge of the cliff is a stone-paved pool with sweeping views of the plains below.

Ghoha Hills is an eco lodge, using solar power for minimum impact to the environment. The solar panels and massive battery room ensure that hundreds of lights, lamps and lanterns light up the Savuti bush like a wonderland, drawing you from miles away and welcoming you back home after your night
