The Skybeds experiences is ultra-eccentric and unique – not to be missed if you are passing that way. With only three elevated double story platforms, this innovative accommodation in the Okavango Delta offers a serene refuge for those who want to fall asleep under the sky of stars, literally.

Find Skybeds Botswana in the splendid Khwai Private Reserve on the edge of both Chobe and Moremi, the best of two worlds in Botswana, famous for their wildlife densities and watery habitats mixed with grasslands and forests. Guests sleep only meters away from an active waterhole visited by lion, wild dog, hyena, leopard, elands, sable, giraffe, zebra, elephants and more. Nature lovers will head for this fantastic accommodation in the wilderness where they can sleep out under the stars on wooden platforms.

There are only three elevated two story Skybeds units built to be rustic and funky, raised 5 m from the ground overlooking the waterhole and offering luxury facilities at the same time. Open air bedrooms with twin beds and an extra bed for kids if needed, enclosed bathroom and changing area for the necessary privacy, and mosquito nets, that is all.

The Khwai River, Moremi Game Reserve and the Chobe National Park are the three wonders of the world found here, from your bedroom on high, the views mind blowing and the wildlife stupendous. Book a few nights here and a few nights at one the Skybed sister camps, Sable Alley or Hyena Pan. This is the most outrageous and most exhilarating Khwai River safari experience with prestigious game viewing and accommodation.

Set off on game drives or walking safaris into the Khai concession and game rangers will also take guests to the ground level hide built 10m only from the waterhole therefore the place to be for close up, impulsive photographs and sightings of animals and birds up close.  Be up for red sunrises and see the sunsets later with sundowners in hand.  Wow! 

If you are seeking something quaint for your adventure into Botswana, then select the once in a lifetime great outdoor experience at SkyBeds Camp Botswana in the Khwai Concession between the great Moremi Game Reserve and the remarkable Chobe National Park. 

You simply cannot go wrong with a rustic bedroom outside, raised on a timber platform with mind-blowing outlooks over an active waterhole towards the Okavango Delta. This is accommodation like no other in the Khwai Private Reserve. It’s a sensory explosion and you will sleep the night through, the nocturnal sounds your sleeping pill.

We recommend this hidden gem of a camp in the Moremi – it is definitely something everyone should do. Looking out over a main elephant watering hole, see these ethereal creatures come to drink with a sunset backdrop. Your meal is served on a separate platform and a culinary experience you will never repeat so make the most of it. Awaken early to see the sunrise and enjoy a freshly cooked breakfast while viewing more elephants arriving along with giraffe and zebra. A walking safari before breakfast tops it all off. 

Khwai Skybeds is a combination of viewing animals from a hide at a water hole and sighting animals from your Skybed or the dining platform that come to a waterhole in front of the three separate Skybed platforms and the dining platform. Elephants, giraffes, cape buffalo, zebras, lions all come to drink. Food is fantastic and the hosts are very attentive. Viewing the elephants from the hide is quite the experience as they are a few meters away. Skybeds by Natural Selection is unique and should not be missed.

The best part about Skybeds is that you have no Wi-Fi, no connection to that fake world out there full of technology and modernisation – you have your bed, your loo, your shower and good food, and you have time alone in the beauty of Mother nature.
