Food was outstanding. Service was also excellent. The staff made you feel welcome. Our guide, Steeze, was also excellent and had a very good knowledge of photography, which is very important when positioning the truck. The tents have air con and are well maintained but are a bit dated (no usb plugs). Also, the Delta is very dry and all the water activities at the camp were cancelled. The camp is located in the park and only the four related camps have access to the park. This limits the trucks and allows all the guides to work together rather than in competition. Saw leopard, lion, and several wild dogs (including an Impala kill). I highly recommend this camp.

Quelle expérience ! Une vue à couper le souffle, des chambres luxueuses et un staff d’une gentillesse sans nom (et toujours avec le sourire). Adi est une excellente manageuse et Mario un guide en or. Allez y les yeux fermés !!

My family and I visited the camp in early Dec 2023. We had the most incredible stay. The staff at the camp were friendly and attentive. We were made to feel like we were their first and last guests. Thank you to Matt, Tshepo, Adi, Nthi, Malakai, Ona, KB, KG, and the rest of the staff at the camp. You made the camp feel like home, away from home. Do yourself a favor, don't miss this camp on your visit to Khwai.

Sable Alley Lodge is an absolute gem in Botswana! The camp itself is stunning, with a perfect blend of luxury and a connection to nature. The location is simply incredible—right in front of the lodge, we were treated to the sight of elephants, hippos, monkeys, baboons, and so much more. It truly felt like being in the heart of the wild. The staff here are exceptional—friendly, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful, ensuring every moment of our stay was memorable. A special shoutout to our safari guide, Matt, who went above and beyond to make our experience extraordinary. His deep knowledge and passion for the wildlife made every game drive unforgettable, and we learned so much from him about this incredible ecosystem. If you’re looking for an unforgettable safari experience with breathtaking views and outstanding service, Sable Alley Lodge is the place to be. Highly recommend!
