Inspired by one of the Okavango Delta’s most secretive inhabitants, the guest areas of Sandibe Safari Lodge rise out of the trees clad in a wooden skin of shingles and timber that mirrors the pangolin’s body armour of overlapping scales.

Sandibe has 12 suites, two of them connected to form a family suite. All are elevated to maximise the views over the permanent Santantadibe Channel and tall reed beds. Like the main area, these new suites are decorated in light wooden tones, and they are vast.

Each has an open-plan lounge area with air conditioning for hot summer days, and a free-standing fireplace for chilly evenings. There's a comfortable leather 'beanbag' sofa, a polished tree-stump for a coffee table, a well-stocked minibar, and a discreet hatch where staff outside can put your tray of morning tea/coffee ready for you to grab it from the comfort of your enormous king-size bed, covered by a walk-in mosquito net.

Large wooden sliding doors at the front of the bedroom can be opened up completely onto a private multi-level wooden deck. Here you'll find a rim-flow plunge pool, a sala area, an outdoor shower and a daybed.

Sandibe Safari Lodge is located on a private concession in the magnificent Okavango Delta. The Sandibe concession is bordering the Chitabe concession and the two camps are sharing the same airstrip.

Sandibe Safari Lodge is only accessible by light aircraft. The camp is situated approx. 30 minutes drive from Chitabe Airstrip. Flight time to Maun in a Cessna Caravan is 30 minutes, and 1 hour 30 minutes to Kasane.

The private concession around Sandibe has an impressive track record for game viewing. The lodge offers some of the best wildlife sightings in the Delta.

Animals that can be encountred are lion, cheetah, leopard, wild dog, hippo, elephant, buffalo, kudu, zebra, wildebeest, giraffe and hyeana.

Game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, night drives, guided walks. No water activities.

Because the camp is located in a private concession, night driving with a searchlight and off-road driving for special animal observation is allowed. Close-up shots are guaranteed.
