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.

Anja at Safari.com was a great partner to work with!
Working with Anja at Safari.com was great. She was able to work some magic and got us a few nights at the safari lodge we really wanted, Ngoma. Unfortunately, our flight from the USA to South Africa was canceled and we were rebooked a day later but Anja was great about making sure our lodge and the transports knew about the change in plans and made sure we got to our trip as soon as we could. She was a great partner to have and communicated quickly whenever we reached out. I would highly recommend using her when planning a trip to Africa!

Leigh-Ann Croeser from Safari.com was fantastic
Leigh-Ann from Safari.com was great to work with to plan our group safari trip. She was able to get me on the priority waitlist for a lodge that I liked, which ended up working out for our group during my preferred dates. Leigh-Ann was responsive and provided various tour recommendations for us to decide on the best option for us. There were a few email and name typos from Leigh-Ann that I had to correct, but other than that, I had a great experience.

Dolan was terrific
Dolan was terrific. He got back to us immediately to answer all of our questions. And was so nice to hold a room for a couple of days because of my moms passing. It gave us time to finalize her arrangements and time to book our trip. I would highly recommend using him to book your trip!!
