Skybeds, Okavango Delta, Botswana

About This Property

Skybeds – A Safari Experience Under the Stars. For those seeking a truly extraordinary wilderness adventure, Skybeds offers one of the most unique safari experiences in Africa. Located deep within the Khwai Private Reserve, this innovative and unforgettable retreat takes the concept of sleeping under the stars to an entirely new level.

Far from a traditional safari camp, each "room" is a three-story elevated platform overlooking the wildlife-rich plains of Khwai. Rustic yet stylish, the structures are thoughtfully designed to provide comfort while immersing guests completely in the surrounding wilderness. The first level features a private bathroom with a flushing toilet, while the second serves as a dressing area. At the very top awaits the highlight of the experience—an oversized double bed dressed in crisp white linens and a feather duvet, completely open to the African sky.

As darkness falls, guests are treated to an unrivaled celestial display, with countless stars stretching from horizon to horizon. Yet the spectacle doesn't end above. The Skybeds overlook a busy waterhole that attracts an astonishing variety of wildlife throughout the day and night. Elephants, lions, hyenas, wild dogs, and numerous other species are often seen visiting the water's edge, creating a front-row seat to the drama of the African bush.

While a peaceful night's sleep is certainly possible, many guests find themselves captivated by the sounds and movements of the wilderness below. The result is an immersive safari experience unlike any other—raw, intimate, and deeply memorable.

For travellers looking to add something truly special to their Botswana safari, Skybeds delivers an unforgettable night in the heart of the wild. Please note that Skybeds can only be booked in combination with a stay at Elephant Pan, Tuludi, Sable Alley, or Little Sable within the Khwai Private Reserve.
