About this place
Set deeper into the north of the Khwai Private Reserve, Skybeds offers one of the wildest and most wonderful safari experiences with just 3 exclusive treehouses, each overlooking a busy waterhole. These unique three-storey raised platforms feature a ground floor bathroom with flushing toilet, a middle floor dressing area, and an open-air top floor with an enormous double bed dressed in white linens and feather duvet - completely open to the African stars.
The waterhole below sees a steady stream of wildlife throughout the day and night - wild dog, lion, elephant, and hyena have all been spotted in a single night. This is the ultimate way to sleep beneath the African sky while surrounded by wilderness, with exceptional stargazing and wildlife observation opportunities.
Note: Skybeds can only be booked in combination with a stay at companion lodges in Khwai Private Reserve (Elephant Pan, Tuludi, Sable Alley, or Little Sable).
