Skybeds
Three-storey open star-bed platforms · Khwai Private Reserve (NG18), north-east of Moremi · Natural Selection
High-end
Outside the gate
Safari company
Three raised platforms above a waterhole where you sleep under the open sky with the Delta's winter stars overhead and elephants drinking below. It is an add-on night rather than a base, bookable only alongside a stay at Tuludi, Sable Alley, Little Sable or Elephant Pan, and it is the single most memorable night's sleep in the Khwai area.

What's here
Arranged from the lodge:
- Guided walks
Read from Skybeds'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 Skybeds
Is Skybeds good for families?
Only on an exclusive-use booking. Skybeds has a minimum age of 16, but the operator allows children aged 12 to 15 if the whole platform is booked exclusively and they share with an adult. Under-12s are not permitted at all, confirmed on the operator's own page.
When is Skybeds open?
Skybeds operates from 1 April to 31 October and closes completely from 1 November to 31 March, confirmed exactly on the operator's own rate sheet. It can also only be booked alongside a stay at Tuludi, Sable Alley, Little Sable or Elephant Pan, never on its own.
Does Skybeds have a bathroom and electricity?
Skybeds has a private enclosed bathroom with a flush toilet and shower, but the open-air sleeping platform itself has no electricity or charging facilities. Charging is only possible at the main platform during meals, confirmed on the operator's own page.
Is Skybeds wheelchair accessible?
No. The operator's own page states plainly that disabled access is not possible at Skybeds, which is built as a three-storey raised open-air platform. Travellers needing step-free access should choose a ground-level camp elsewhere in the Khwai Private Reserve instead.
