Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge accommodation:

Décor complements the natural lines of the exteriors. The giant king sized bed (or twin beds) looks out on spectacular Delta views from underneath a dazzling white mosquito net. The sounds of Africa lull and soothe when you wake, as elephants, splash in the water, baboons chatter, and birds call in the trees.

They have full en-suite bathrooms, personal bar and an open plan lounge area. An outdoor shower caters to those who simply cannot tear themselves away from the views. While discrete butler hatches add an aura of intimacy. Large wooden sliding doors open onto a private multi-level deck, with a seating area, and daybeds that invite guests to daydream away the afternoon gazing at a tranquil vista of water and sky. Private meals are served on the deck under starry skies. With the chorus of an orchestra of frogs. Back inside; a wood burning fireplace creates the ideal spot for cozy winter nights.

Sparkling private rim-flow plunge pools mirror the cool waters of the Delta channels.

Where is Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge and what does it offer?

Situated on a private concession in the magnificent Okavango Delta; Sandibe boasts exclusive traversing rights over a vast stretch of land. Adjacent to the wildlife rich Moremi Game Reserve, in northern NG31. The lodge features the best the Okavango Delta has to offer in terms of both outstanding wildlife viewing and warm local hospitality.

Golden grassed floodplains inhabited by a staggering variety of wildlife stretch into the distance. Framed by lush palm islands and the spires of giant termite mounds. A channel of clear, cool waters runs directly in front of the elevated guest suites. Offering unrestricted views over the shimmering beauty of the Delta.

Guests can awaken to the sound of animals, laugh at the antics of baboons and squirrels over breakfasts and tread in the footsteps of elephants as they walk the ancient paths that bisect the forest. Days are spent exploring a maze of papyrus and the wide floodplains in search of wildlife.

Best time to visit the Okavango Delta

Botswana has hot, wet summers from October to April. Summer temperatures range from 25°C to 40°C / 77°F to 104°F. Winters (from May to September) are dry and cool and nights can be chilly. Winter temperatures range between 5ºC to 33ºC / 42ºF to 91ºF.

The rainy season is from late December to late February, sometimes continuing into March. With rain generally in the form of afternoon thundershowers.

During summer and spring, hot days usher in thunderstorms over a dry Delta. While in winter the land dries and the Delta fills with water.

Therefore, the best time for a Okavango Delta safari is in the winter. Once the rains have filled up the channels. This is between July – October.
