Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge lies in the Okavango Delta, just south of Chief's Island, in one of the most beautiful regions of the Delta, with its game-rich grassy plains. Sandibe is tucked away in ancient riverine forest of gnarled fig trees and wild palms, overlooking the perennial Santandibe River on one side and the grassy plains on the other, the view framed by lush palm islands and giant termite mounds.

Accommodation

Sandibe now offers some of the most stylish and luxurious accommodation in the Okavango Delta. The architecture and design ethos has taken its cue from the pangolin with its sinuous curved back. The camp is also fluid with curved walls and wooden slats. The huge contemporary rooms have lots of natural wood tones and each has a private plunge pool.

The tall trees have inspired the soaring double volume sitting and dining area whilst outside the deck offers glorious wetland and savanna views.

Activities

The forest setting makes Sandibe Safari Lodge a bird-watching paradise, (with over 350 species spotted). The focus at Sandibe is on land-based game activities and include daily 4 x 4 game drives, bush walks, bird watching and star gazing. For after lunch relaxation, choose between a hammock swaying from the trees or the shaded plunge pool. At night you dine in the candle-lit boma or your private deck provides a romantic setting for an intimate dinner for two.

We recommend the helicopter transfers both into the camp and also between Sandibe and its more watery sister camp of Xaranna.
