Okavango Delta, Botswana
Shinde Camp

Engage in an unparalleled mix of land and water activities
In Botswana’s northern Okavango Delta, Shinde Camp skirts a permanent lagoon from a palm island beloved by the elusive, web-footed sitatunga antelope. This region’s open floodplains and waterways lined with feathery papyrus flourish with life. With immense biodiversity at your doorstep and a prime location in a private concession, you’re guaranteed an intimate safari experience alongside an enviable combination of water and land activities.
Raised on wooden decks, Shinde Camp’s tents are tucked discreetly between interlaced trees whose emerald canopies weave a veil of privacy. Interiors are classic in style, opening to indoor and outdoor showers and private verandas offering unobstructed views of the plains or waterways.
Shinde Camp’s main area, that’s split into different levels, also merges with the surrounding ebony and mangosteen trees. From its lounges, swimming pool, dining areas and deck, you can gaze out to the Delta. Watch red lechwe graze in shoulder-deep water and elephants forage nearby marula trees for fruit. At dinnertime, you can gather around the family-style table before sharing stories around the warmth of the firepit.
Courtesy of the camp’s waterside location, many experiences here revolve around the lagoon and its waterways. Cruise alongside crocodiles onboard a motorboat or quietly observe colonies of herons, pelicans and storks from a mokoro (a dugout canoe). Venturing onshore, game drives give you a glimpse of lions and leopards alongside cheetahs, jackals and wild dogs. During guided walks, you’ll seek out chameleons and expertly hidden frogs.
