This Botswana safari features two iconic camps. Immerse yourself in the peace of the delta while spending two nights at Shinde, situated on a lush palm island in the heart of the northern Okavango Delta, followed by two nights at Kanana, nestled in the southwest of the delta.

Your safari begins at Maun airport, where you’ll be met and checked in for your charter flight to Shinde camp. You’ll have ample time to transfer and relax before your first game activity. Spend two nights at Shinde, nestled on a private concession perfect for guided walks, mokoro excursions, night drives, game drives and motorboat trips. Shinde’s blend of environments supports a wide variety of wildlife including the elusive sitatunga antelope and a thriving population of leopards.
