AndBeyond Sandibe Lodge

The stay

&Beyond Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge is a world-renowned luxury safari destination set deep within the pristine wilderness of Botswana’s Okavango Delta. Located on a private 260,000-hectare concession bordering the Moremi Game Reserve, Sandibe occupies one of the most privileged positions in the Delta – right on the edge of a permanent waterway where the floodplains and mopane woodlands meet. This unique setting ensures exceptional year-round game viewing, whether the Delta is in flood or dry season.

The lodge’s architecture is nothing short of breathtaking. Inspired by the protective scales of the local pangolin and the intricate woven nests of the weaver birds, the design features sweeping, organic curves and natural materials that allow the buildings to disappear seamlessly into the surrounding forest of ancient fig trees, palms and wild date palms. The entire lodge is elevated on stilts, offering guests an almost tree-house experience while maintaining complete privacy and immersion in nature.

Each of the twelve beautifully appointed suites is a private sanctuary. Spacious at over 100 m², every suite features a generous bedroom, en-suite bathroom with indoor and outdoor showers, a private plunge pool, and a large deck overlooking the water. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls slide open completely, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living so you can fall asleep to the sounds of splashing elephants or calling hippos just metres away.

Game viewing at Sandibe is outstanding. Twice-daily game drives in open 4x4 vehicles explore the concession’s diverse habitats – from lush floodplains teeming with red lechwe and waterbuck to dense woodlands favoured by leopard and wild dog. Professional guides and trackers share deep knowledge of the Delta’s ecology, while mokoro (traditional canoe) excursions and walking safaris offer intimate, low-impact ways to experience the wilderness. The area is particularly famous for its healthy populations of lion, elephant, buffalo, and the elusive sitatunga antelope.

Beyond the wildlife, Sandibe delivers an exceptional level of personalised service and comfort. The camp’s award-winning cuisine celebrates fresh, seasonal ingredients with both international and authentic Botswana flavours, served in a variety of romantic settings – under the stars on the riverbank, beside your private plunge pool, or in the elegant main dining area. The wine cellar is superb, and the spa offers rejuvenating treatments using locally inspired ingredients.

Sandibe also takes its conservation responsibilities seriously. Through &Beyond’s partnership with local communities and the Botswana government, the lodge supports anti-poaching initiatives, habitat restoration, and community development projects that directly benefit the people of the Okavango region.

Whether you’re seeking a romantic escape, a family adventure, or a serious wildlife photography expedition, &Beyond Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge offers an unforgettable, deeply authentic luxury safari experience in one of the most magical places on Earth. It is, quite simply, the Delta at its finest.
