The Experience
Skybeds offers a truly unique safari experience, allowing guests to sleep high above the ground on three-storey platforms. Each "room" overlooks a wildlife-spotted plain in the Khwai Private Reserve, providing unparalleled opportunities for game viewing directly from your bed. The rustic yet stylish accommodations feature a flushing loo and dressing area on the lower floors, culminating in an enormous, open-air double bed on the top floor, perfect for stargazing. While sleep might be elusive with the constant wildlife activity at the waterhole below, the guarantee of a wild and wonderful safari experience makes Skybeds an unforgettable destination. It is important to note that Skybeds can only be booked in combination with a stay at other selected properties within the Khwai Private Reserve. The camp is open from April to October, aligning with the dry season when wildlife congregates around water sources, ensuring spectacular viewing opportunities. Guests can expect a blend of romance, wilderness, and rustic charm, making it ideal for couples, small groups booking exclusively, and families with children aged 15 and older. The camp is not a white-gloved, linen-tableclothed sort of place, food is wholesome and often enjoyed around the campfire. The camp also contributes to community and conservation efforts in the Khwai Private Reserve. Highlights of the experience include sleeping under a "billion stars," watching wildlife at a busy waterhole, enjoying game drives, guided nature walks, and visiting an underground hide for close-up animal encounters. This property is ideal for those seeking an immersive and unconventional safari adventure with a strong connection to nature and conservation. The camp prides itself on offering a “million-star review” experience, emphasizing direct wildlife observation and celestial beauty.
