Hyena Pan Skybeds, Moremi Game Reserve

Hyena Pan Skybeds

Unusual
Okavango Delta, Botswana

Located within the Khwai Private Reserve, which borders the Moremi Game Reserve, the Hyena Pan Skybeds offer a completely different – and unconventional – experience. Built on stilts, these raised sleeping platforms look out over a busy waterhole.

At night, only a mosquito net separates you from the stars, whilst during the day huge herds of elephants frequent the waterhole, as well as other animals. The Skybeds are carefully constructed, towering over the bush, with an entirely enclosed bathroom located beneath the upper platform.

Activities include game drives, bush walks, full day trips to Moremi National Park and time in the ground-level hide.

The Skybeds can also be combined with the more conventional Hyena Pan Tented Camp. With recently upgraded tents, this small camp is located nearby, in the same private concession.

Why we like Hyena Pan Skybeds

With unobscured skies and elevated views, the Skybeds offer an experience truly distinct from the traditional tented safari.
