From the Delta to the Pans

On arrival into Botswana, you’ll fly to the northern region of the Okavango Delta, for your stay at Shinde. This camp is set on its own island too, on the edge of Shinde Lagoon. The scenery here is breathtaking – waterways and open grasslands! Shinde’s communal lounge and dining room are housed under canvas in a multi-tiered building, which has a treehouse feel to it and really makes the most of the views. This camp is perfectly positioned to offer both land and water-based activities, throughout the year. They include day and night game drives, walking safaris, motorboat rides, mokoro excursions, and fishing. Among the wildlife species you might see are lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, antelopes, hippo, and a vast variety of waterbirds!

After exploring the Okavango Delta, you will move down to the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, a truly unique destination that gives you the chance of seeing uncommon species such as meerkats, who have been habituated over the last couple of years. Super-stylish, San Camp has a unique Bedouin style – think white, billowy pavilions, campaign-style furniture, and Persian rugs. The camp has a lounge tent, dining area, library, small museum, yoga pavilion, and plunge pool. It’s a great base for visiting the resident meerkat clans, and other unique activities include quad-biking across the pans, horse riding, night drives, and educational cultural walks with San Bushmen. With three nights here, it’s an exciting end to your stay in this spectacular part of the world.
