Safari company
The largest and best-known of the Khwai Private Reserve camps, set on a lagoon that keeps hippo in sight of the main deck. One booking warning worth repeating: the Khwai Development Trust runs an unrelated public campsite also called Sable Alley. Make sure you are booking the one you think you are.

Arranged from the lodge:
- Guided walks
Read from Sable Alley's own website in July 2026. Anything not listed we could not confirm, which is not the same as it being absent.
What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Moremi Game Reserve charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryP270 for non-residents, roughly $20.
- $20per person, per day
- VehicleP75 a day for a foreign-registered vehicle, roughly $6.
- $6per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $138 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.

Indicative 2026 rates per person per night sharing, gathered July 2026 from operators' own rate sheets where published.

Questions about Sable Alley
Is Sable Alley good for families?
Yes. Sable Alley welcomes children from six years old and has two family tents among its 12 units, plus one honeymoon tent and nine twin or double tents. Children aged six to 17 get a discount when sharing with an adult.
Is Sable Alley good for a honeymoon?
Sable Alley has a dedicated honeymoon tent among its 12 units, overlooking a lagoon where hippo and elephant come to drink. The operator's page does not describe specific in-room extras like a plunge pool for that tent, so ask for details when you book.
How do you book Sable Alley without confusion?
Make sure the booking is with Natural Selection's Sable Alley, a 12-tent camp in the Khwai Private Reserve from about $995 to $1,995 per person. A separate, unrelated public campsite run by the Khwai Development Trust shares the same name, so check the operator before paying.
