DAY 5 - 7 : CAMP SHINDE
After breakfast a scheduled
charter flight will take us to
Shinde where we spend the next
two nights.
Nestled on a lush palm dotted island in the heart of the northern Okavango Delta and located at the edge of a lagoon, Shinde is surrounded by clear waterways, which flow over yellow sands and past palm-fringed islands teeming with birdlife and game. The island is especially favoured by members of the antelope family, including the elusive Sitatunga whose elongated and splayed hooves enable it to walk on the unstable beds of reeds floating on the water. Delta crafts can take you on an interesting trip where you can see fascinating breeding colonies of herons, egrets, pelicans and storks. Your guide can also take you on fascinating wildlife walks where you can see the hidden treasures - insects, reptiles as well as a wide variety of bird life and game.
Shinde’s remoteness has ensured that true innocent wildlife has not been subject to the pressures of mass tourism.
The lodge accommodates just 16 guests in large raised reed and thatch lagoon facing chalets, with en-suite facilities and private viewing decks, situated on the shaded fringes of the island. An open boma and al fresco dining area overlooks the expanse of pristine water that makes up the permanent Delta.The lounge, bar and dining areas are set back under the Ebony and African Mangosteen tree canopy in open sided thatched structures. The swimming pool, located within the mature gardens in the centre of the island, is a perfect place to relax.
Exploring the Delta by motorboat
or canoe (mokoro), combined with
walking on surrounding islands in
the concession, gives
guests the chance to experience a
classic Delta safari.
