The Kalahari Desert’s very own sparkling jewel!  Known as “the river that never finds the sea”, the Okavango Delta is a wilderness haven teeming with fascinating species in an idyllic setting spread over the thirst lands of the Kalahari.

The Okavango Delta is the world’s largest inland delta offering a truly remarkable wilderness and game viewing experience amongst an oasis of islands and crystal clear water channels.  An intimate adventure is sure to be had whereby your experience allows you the opportunity to explore the wild and its inhabitants up close.

SANDIBE OKAVANGO SAFARI LODGE – REMOTE LUXURY VIRTUALLY WITHIN THE FOOTPRINTS OF ELEPHANTS

Imagine reflections of crystal clear waters glimmering through a maze of brilliant green papyrus and game rich grassy floodplains stretching out in front of you for miles into the horizon.  Tranquil and blissful African safari adventures are surely made of this!  &Beyond Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge is set within a private concession of 8 000 hectares (19 800 acres) along the southeastern border of the Moremi Wildlife Reserve within the Okavango Delta.

&Beyond Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge consists of 8 luxurious guest cottages with overhead fans set along ancient game paths where the gentle majesty of elephants have often tread.  Beneath a cool forest canopy of wild palms and gnarled fig trees, exclusive luxury can be enjoyed within an intimately wild setting.  Raised private decks offer spectacular views of the Okavango Delta whilst the invitingly cool swimming pool and gentle breeze that drifts through the window screens of your cottage open you up to a world of tranquilly peaceful luxury in the wild.

“My wife was so surprised and impressed. I definitely scored some points with her. Also, my wife had a full body massage and said it was the best massage she ever had. Being a bird enthusiast, I personally enjoyed the amount and variety of birds. Also, we had particular success with leopards, as we saw three different leopards on our first two game drives. Overall, it was a great experience. Thanks for doing such a great job in arranging everything.”
Mike Bove

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

“Our trip was something we have wanted to do for a life time.  We spent 12 days in africa but the last three days at Sandibe Safari Lodge was the highlight of our trip.  The night before we left the staff set up a very special candle light dinner on a boat for my wife and I.  The dinner was fantastic but that was expected as every meal was gourmet.”

What we loved was the kindness, thoughfulness and pleasantness of the entire staff.  I have travel around the world but I have to tell you this, Sandibe has now become my most memorable vacation location.  I will return some day and in the mean time I will strongly recommend this enchanted place for anyone looking for an amazing African experience in the delta.  I can not say enough positive things about every single person who worked there.

Awake to a gentle tap on your cottage door as the morning hues of the day rise over the horizon.  Daydream about the day’s adventure whilst sipping a steaming hot cup of fragrant tea or coffee and enjoying a few biscuits or rusks.  Your guide will be on hand to discuss your game drive hopes in eager anticipation of taking you on an adventure of a lifetime.  Hop into an awaiting safari vehicle and set off on an enthralling morning game drive!

Upon your return to &Beyond Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge, a delicious spread of fruit and cheese platters will tempt your taste buds as the aromas of freshly prepared hot breakfast delights are cooked for you.  Enjoy a leisurely walk around the camp with an armed guide or simply savour the sights and sounds of the lodge and surrounds in the comfort of your exclusively luxurious cottage ahead of a scrumptious lunch served in the shady guest area, tucked away within the riverine forest.

Indulge in a refreshingly cool dip in the lodge pool or treat yourself to an afternoon siesta.  Late afternoon tea will then be served ahead of another enthralling game drive experience where you can observe the wildlife of the area and their habits as the day begins to end.  Alternatively an afternoon boat ride adventure can be enjoyed on a motorised boat, allowing you the opportunity to explore the Delta at eye level.  Upon your return a mouth watering dinner will be served under a canopy of stars and the African velvet sky above.
