Explore one of the last true natural paradises on our planet from the &Beyond Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge: the world-famous Okavango Delta in Botswana, also known as the "land of water," is a landscape unique in its form and diversity anywhere on earth. The 5-star luxury lodge with only 12 suites not only offers an extremely intimate atmosphere, but also excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing. Embark on a safari during your dream vacation and marvel at the awe-inspiring "Big Five" as they majestically appear in front of your camera lens.
Twice a day, a vehicle leaves the camp and takes you on a safari game drive, where you can look out for the legendary "Big Five": elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion, and leopard. Special photo safaris in an open off-road vehicle will help you take the perfect shots, or you can view the mosaic of plateaus, lagoons, and channels from above on a helicopter flight. With its diverse bird life, Botswana is also a paradise for ornithologists – you may even spot exotic species such as the African fish owl or the African pygmy goose. For younger guests, family safaris and the Wildchild Program with interactive games and workshops are on the agenda.
The twelve intimate guest suites were built on stilts and rise above the forest canopy, towering over the papyrus like the nests of golden weaver birds and offering breathtaking views of the delta. Designed in a modern African style, they are as comfortable as they are authentic and feature a private plunge pool for cooling off and an exciting observation deck. In your own private luxury nest, you will always feel close to African life, yet you will be in cozy safety.
You can enjoy delicious delicacies from traditional African cuisine not only in the open restaurant area with a view of the delta, but also under the starry sky around the campfire in the traditional "boma" after an exciting day on safari. The interactive kitchen exudes a relaxed, cheerful atmosphere and invites guests to design their own gourmet pizza or grill their own burgers. If you're ready for a little adventure in the morning, treat yourself to the Bush Brunch, where you can enjoy breakfast in nature while a few gazelles hop by and birds whistle in the bushes.
Follow in the footsteps of majestic elephants and the call of baboons, which will lead you straight to an extraordinary adventure in the heart of Africa's fascinating nature. The peaceful, wonderfully secluded yet luxurious &Beyond Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge is located in the world-famous Okavango Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Botswana's most beautiful natural area. Discover a labyrinth of meandering water channels, papyrus-lined banks, and floating islands teeming with wildlife. In the heart of the delta, on the edge of a waterway, you will find your safari-style home. The lodge is located in a private concession with diverse wildlife and has exclusive rights to traverse a vast 22,500-hectare area bordering the Moremi Game Reserve. The lodge's organic design blends in with the surrounding forest canopy of wild palms and gnarled fig trees. The trees provide shade as you approach the lodge; a fascinating curve and arch of wooden shingles comes into view, reminiscent of a giant pangolin at rest. A series of decks leads down to the forest floor and culminates in a traditional wooden "boma" where you can sit around the campfire in the evening and exchange safari stories, with a small gym and private massage salon nearby.
