Shinde
is nestled on a lush palm dotted area in the heart of the
northern Okavango Delta. Located at the edge of a lagoon,
it is surrounded by clear waterways which flow over yellow
sands and past palm-fringed islands teeming with birdlife
and game. This is a photographer's delight. It's remoteness
has ensured that the innocent wildlife has not been subject
to the pressures of mass tourism.
The island is especially favored 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. Our well-equipped delta
craft may take you on an interesting trip where you will
see fascinating breeding colonies of herons, egrets, pelicans
and storks. Your guide will arrange walks, show you insects,
as well as a wide variety of bird life and game.
Shinde's abundant wildlife and the silent waters of the
Okavango combine to make your stay a rare experience indeed!
The camp offers 8 large twin bedded safari style tents with
sewn-in floors and windows, including 3 new tents built
on plinths overlooking the Delta. Private en-suite bathroom
with hot and cold running water (24 hours), a shower and
a flush toilet.
