A maze of meandering water channels, papyrus-fringed banks and floating islands teeming with wildlife, known as the river that never finds the sea, Botswana’s Okavango Delta is the jewel of the Kalahari. Situated on a diverse, wildlife-rich, private concession, Sandibe has exclusive traversing rights over a vast 22,500 hectares (55,600 acres) of wildlife land bordering the Moremi Game Reserve.
Trees will shade you as you approach the lodge; an intriguing curl and sweep of shingled wood come into view, resembling a giant scaled pangolin at rest. Stairs open onto the high ceilings of the copper-toned and glassless guest area overlooking the Delta. From this central dining area, the wooden deck stretches beyond the roof, while the upstairs bar and lounge extend along an elevated walkway to a viewing platform. A series of decks descend to the forest floor culminating in a log boma, with a small gym and private massage Sala close by.
The luxurious lodge has twelve elegant and intimate suites raised above the papyrus like the nests of golden weaver birds with magnificent delta views. Each room has a private plunge pool, cosy fireplace, and secluded nook with a lovely en-suite bathroom.
Activities include guided walking safaris, game drives, helicopter flights, and cooking with the chef in the interactive kitchen complete with a pizza den.
