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. Inspired by nature and celebrating its stunning setting, the lodge features the best the Delta has to offer in terms of outstanding design, outstanding wildlife viewing, and warm local hospitality.
Children: Children of all ages are welcome at Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge. Childminders are available but must be booked on the day of arrival. A rate of USD 5 per hour is payable at the lodge. Children 5 years and younger cannot participate in game drives or nature walks. Children aged 6 to 11 can participate in game drives at the lodge manager’s discretion. Children aged 16 and over can participate in nature walks.
Children's Program: Designed especially for children visiting &Beyond’s lodges, WILDchild is filled with fun, interactive activities that offer opportunities to learn and discover new experiences and cultures. Upon arrival at &Beyond Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp, each child will receive a WILDchild-branded bag containing a logbook, crayons, pencils, and a pawprint tattoo. There is a personalized welcome note for every child, and those under three will receive an African-themed soft toy as well.
Set in a cool forest canopy of wild palms and gnarled fig trees, &Beyond Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge overlooks spectacular Delta views. Behind the lodge, golden-grassed floodplains stretch into the distance, framed by lush palm islands and the spires of giant termite mounds. The beautiful organic architecture of the lodge blends seamlessly with one of Africa’s most breathtaking landscapes. Drawing inspiration from nature, &Beyond Sandibe is serene and earthy.
Twelve elegant and intimate suites are raised above the papyrus, resembling the nests of golden weaver birds, and feature magnificent Delta views as well as private plunge pools, cozy fireplaces, and secluded nooks. At night, the rooms become cocoons with fireplaces for winter use.
Interiors celebrate Botswana craftsmanship with pieces that include copper-clad mekoro, basketware, and sculpted wooden tables. An interactive kitchen showcases succulent Botswana beef, artisanal breads, and pizzas, while a beautifully situated massage sala offers a selection of relaxing massages in a spectacular natural setting. The lodge combines a stunning natural location with an unusual yet beautiful design.
&Beyond Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge offers some of the best game viewing in the Delta. Guests set off in search of wildlife in the early morning and late afternoon. Situated on the edge of the Delta, the game viewing areas at Sandibe remain accessible throughout the year regardless of rising water levels. Game viewing here is remote and secluded, with very few vehicles sharing the private concession. Sensitive off-road driving practices provide guests with up-close encounters of the area’s exceptional wildlife.
Afternoon drives extend into the evening for the chance to observe nocturnal wildlife, including leopard and serval. Lions, which frequently hunt at night, may also be spotted feeding on a kill.
Other activities available at Sandibe include bush walks, a children's programme, and scenic helicopter flights (additional costs apply for flights).
Accommodation, three meals daily, soft drinks, house wines, local brand spirits and beers, teas and coffees, refreshments on game drives, laundry, safari activities, emergency medical evacuation insurance, VAT, transfers to and from the lodge airstrip, and park fees.
Excludes: Landing Fees.

This company is like a hidden gem- so worth it!
This is not the first time I have dealt with this company. And I return with good reason. They are efficient and professional. They listen to what you want, and search until they can help you achieve whatever your goal was. I have dealt with Dolan many times. This time Anja helped me. I have only good things to say.

Anja and safari.com made our Christmas…
Anja and safari.com made our Christmas and New Year holiday vacation perfection. We had direction and choices to choose from at every point of the planning. Upon arrival it was seem less. Drivers and guides that found you on time, very knowledgeable and very kind. The safari part of our trip was stellar, the cottage was so cozy and the drives were sightings of every big 5 and beyond. Just the mention of Anja, who had confirmed, you were expected and treated extremely well. Anja reminded us of events just in case which was so nice to know you had someone watching over you. Everything was top notch and went exactly as it was planned. Thank you for a beautiful vacation to Anja and her team.

Anja and safari.com are the best!!!!!
Anja and safari.com are the best, period! Excellent planning, wonderful suggestions and constant contact during our vacation, even over the holidays. Anja reminded us our activity times, reconfirmed reservations and even called to adjust departure times for excursions when our family mead running behind. Anja’s suggestions were right on and always excellent. Only wish we would have let her book our ABNB in capetown. Best customer service in a time where that seems to be dying. Can’t say enough positive about her. Thank you for making our 2.5 week family trip one we will never forget 🙏🏻 I would not suggest booking your trip to SA without Anja and safari.com
