I stayed at Little Sable in April with8 guests on a Botswana safari, and it proved to be a wonderful first camp in the Okavango Delta. The camp is intimate, relaxed and beautifully positioned in the Khwai Private Reserve, with only a small number of tents and lovely views over the surrounding floodplain. During our stay the area was very green and flooded, which made the landscape incredibly atmospheric, although it did make predator tracking and general game viewing more challenging at times. That said, the guides worked hard and we still had some fantastic sightings. The highlight of our stay was an exceptional lion sighting on our first full morning: two males, two females and four very young cubs, estimated at around three to four weeks old. We were told it was the first time all four cubs had been seen together, and watching one of the females move them between islands, with the cubs crossing the road in front of us, was unforgettable. We also saw elephants, giraffe, zebra, impala, red lechwe, waterbuck, hippos, baboons, water monitor, Verreaux’s eagle-owls, southern ground hornbills, bateleurs and plenty of fish eagles. We also found fresh wild dog tracks and fresh leopard tracks, and on our final morning came very close to what was likely a recent leopard kill. The camp itself was very comfortable. The rooms were spacious, with good storage, charging points, a large bathroom and both indoor and outdoor showers. The main area had a lovely outlook over the floodplain, with a great firepit and seating area for evenings. The pool area and raised lookout deck were also excellent places to relax between drives. Food was consistently great throughout our stay - generous, well presented and tasty - with full breakfasts, snacks on drive, afternoon tea and three-course lunches and dinners. The staff were warm and helpful, with Kim and Nonno especially attentive to our group. Overall, Little Sable was a very enjoyable, intimate and atmospheric camp, and it worked extremely well for a small hosted group. It is a great choice for guests looking for a comfortable, authentic Khwai experience in a beautiful private reserve setting.

My wife and I had a fantastic trip. The staff are extremely caring and helpful. The accommodation provides an authentic Safari experience and is very comfortable. Ryder, our guide was exceptional and his determination paid off when we saw the lions and the Leopards. The Delta is magnificent, unpredictable and very exciting. A once in a lifetime experience.

The entire place was fantastic. Greeted by staff who sorted everything as we went straight on a game drive and found lions in the first 10 minutes of going out. Our guide Molls was amazing, very patient and happy to answer our many questions. Game viewing was great, never more than us and maybe one other vehicle. We spent nearly an hour alone with lions and 3 cubs, and similar with a leopard that was enjoying brunch in a tree. The food was of very good restaurant standard and presentation, and always delivered by amazing staff. Sleeping to the noises of elephants bathing, hippos laughing and lions roaring literally on your back door was an unforgettable experience.
