Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge

• Situated in the oasis of the Okavango Delta, the world's largest inland delta
• Track the Big Five, as well as the semi-acquatic lechwe and sitatunga antelope
• Day and night safaris, as well as bush walks
• Close to Moremi Game Reserve, so better chance of spotting the Big Five than most other Okavango lodges
  

Camouflaged beneath wild palms and gnarled fig leaves, eight thatched cottages sit on the edge of the Delta. Blending seamlessly with its surroundings, the tranquil beauty of Sandibe Safari Lodge surprises both guests and occasional wandering animals, startled as rough wooden beams and thatched roofs take shape within leafy groves. The sounds of Africa lull and soothe as elephants splash in the waters, baboons chatter and birds call in the trees.

The greens of the river bank peer into spacious guest cottages through large, airy screens. Earthy ochre tones bring the forest floor indoors, while tactile textures celebrate the natural beauty of the setting. Gaze out onto the Santanadibe River from your king size bed or spend an hour watching light play on on water from your private raised deck. Enjoy the warm luxury of the sun skipping across your skin in the large outdoor shower.

Hammocks slung in dappled shade beckon and the wooden deck by the sunny pool offers refreshment. 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.
