Sandibe

Okavango Delta, Botswana

Spectacular design with exceptional wildlife

Tucked away beneath a cool forest canopy of wild palms and gnarled fig trees, with architecture inspired by the Okavango Delta’s notoriously secretive resident the Pangolin, &Beyond Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge is a stunning and truly unique property blending seamlessly with its organic surroundings.

Sandibe looks out onto the Delta through a maze of brilliant green papyrus. Situated on a private concession, Sandibe has exclusive traversing rights over 22500 hectares (55 600 acres) of wildlife land adjacent to the Moremi Game Reserve.

The safari lodge consists of 8 luxurious guest suites with private plunge pools. Drawing inspiration directly from nature, the suites are elevated above their surroundings, gazing out onto the Delta. Uncluttered and elegant, the lodge features a copper palette, with natural rusty tones.

Tread in the footprints of elephants on ancient game paths that lead between the guest suites at this unfenced lodge. Hippo inhabit the deeper channels and lagoons, while honeybadgers can be seen in broad daylight. Tall termite mounds are homes for families of dwarf and banded mongoose.  At Sandibe, guests enjoy game drives, guided nature walks and (at additional cost) scenic helicopter flights over the delta.

Thank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip. The transfers went smoothly, the accommodation was excellent, the drivers were amazing as they manoeuvred through the traffic and every tour guide had a great deal of knowledge and information. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The contrast of poverty and riches of the country was striking, from the beggars in the street and struggles of the poor to the spectacular, impressive sights of the forts and monuments. There were so many highlights. A moment in time that will never happen again.

Exellent and wonderful, reaching way above expectations.

We wanted the opportunity to see as many wildlife parks as possible and the Classic Safari Company provided an action-packed itinerary that included six, with 11 tiger sightings and nine leopard. This was overlaid with an introduction to Jaisalmer, Jaipur and the 'real' India. Pench and Panna were the hidden gems of a really great trip, very well organised, seamless and enjoyable. As a solo traveller I felt incredibly safe at all times. I want to go back!

Mark Taylor

Julia you did a fantastic job - everything was first class. Well organised, efficient and stress free. We all agreed it was the best holiday we've ever had. Cant wait to travel with CSC again.

The trip exceeded my expectations and was the best family holiday I have ever had. Our children simply loved it and now I know more about African wildlife than they do about our own farm animals.
