Located in northern Botswana, the Okavango River is a unique
natural phenomenon - flowing more than 1 000 km (620 miles) from
its source in Angola, this river disappears beneath the sands of
Botswana, creating a lush inland delta in the midst of this
otherwise arid country. The Okavango Delta is in a constant
state of flux, expanding and contracting according to the rainy
season. While some parts of the Delta remain permanently
flooded, others only experience high water levels from May to
September, when rainwaters from Angola reach the outer stretches
of the Okavango.
Tread in the footsteps of elephants as you walk the ancient
paths that bisect Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge in the shady
forest of the Okavango Delta.
Awaken to the sounds of animals, laugh at the antics of baboons
and squirrels over breakfast, and spend your days exploring
mazes of papyrus and golden, grassy floodplains.
Connect with the remote wilderness of Africa in this serene,
earthy camp, where little separates the comfort of the warm
interiors from the haunting beauty of the natural spectacles
outside.
Camouflaged under a tumbling canopy of wild palms and gnarled
fig leaves, eight thatched cottages emerge in leafy clearings
right on the edge of the Delta’s waterways. Blending seamlessly
with its surroundings, the tranquil beauty of Sandibe Safari
Lodge surprises not only guests but even the occasional
wandering animals, startled as rough wooden beams and thatched
roofs take shape within the leafy groves. The sounds of Africa
lull and soothe travellers, as elephants splash in the quiet
waters, baboons chatter and a myriad birds call and twitter in
the trees.
Lazy hammocks slung in the dappled shade beckon and the wooden
deck by the sunny poolside offers refreshment. Layered guest
areas with comfortable couches invite you to while the afternoon
away among cosy cushions. Open sides in sitting and dining areas
draw your eyes outward to dazzling plains and reeded river
banks. Relax over scrumptious meals in the dining room, while
animals wander only metres away or enjoy the cosy shelter of the
fire-lit boma as thousands of stars light up the African sky.
