Sandibe Safari Lodge

Sandibe Safari Lodge Information

Sandibe Safari Lodge is set on a permanent channel of the magnificent Okavango Delta, adjacent to the game-rich Moremi Wildlife Reserve on a 270 square kilometre private concession. The beautiful thatched lodge nestles between permanent water and grass-swept plains and was built with a commitment to “treading lightly on the earth”. The result is organic architecture that blends seamlessly with one of the most breathtaking landscapes in Africa. Sandibe Safari Lodge is renowned for understatedly stylish accommodation in the heart of the breathtaking Okavango Delta.

The eight stylish cottages are built in the forest, these are ensuite with separate toilet and an outside shower area. Each chalet has its private viewing deck. Sandibe’s twin-bedded cottages are styled in a fusion of ochres and tactile textures, with airy screen walls opening onto exceptional views of the Okavango Delta wetlands and savanna. The central dining and sitting area is tucked under a soaring canopy of trees. After your evening game-drive, enjoy a delicious alfresco banquet of Pan-African cuisine in the boma (outdoor restaurant) illuminated by dozens of candles and lanterns. Alternatively, your private deck provides a romantic setting for intimate candlelit dinners. Sandibe is also known for wonderful bush picnics in surprising settings.

Sandibe Safari Lodge Activities

Sandibe’s prime location between permanent water and the open plains offers guests a wide range of wildlife-related activities and water-based adventures. Enjoy the following exciting safari activities at no additional cost. Experienced rangers and trackers will lead you on exhilarating game-drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles. Spotlit night game-drives are especially exciting as you explore the thrilling drama of the African bush at night, possibly revealing hunting prides of lion or the elusive leopard. Explore the Okavango Delta on interpretive wilderness walks with professional guides steeped in knowledge of the local fauna and flora, and get up-close-and-personal with Sandibe’s magnificent wilderness.

Few memories can equal being poled through the channels of the Okavango Delta in a mokoro by an experienced guide, or on Sandibe’s stylish silent electric wooden eco-craft. These boat excursions may be enjoyed throughout the year and are best during the flood season from June to September. Sandibe offers abundant birdwatching opportunities with 349 species recorded here. Waterbirds flock to the marshes – storks, herons, kingfishers and brightly-coloured bee-eaters – and you have an excellent chance of spotting the Pel’s fishing owl, one of only three fishing owls in Africa, while enjoying a mokoro or eco-craft excursion. With a myriad of fish species including the finetoothed squeaker, tigerfish and African pike, fishing from Sandibe’s eco-craft is an enjoyable excursion for avid fishermen.
