Is the Best of South Africa and Botswana Trip for Me?

This South Africa and Botswana journey will give you an excellent opportunity to experience the best that Southern Africa offers.

Spend time in the picturesque city of Cape Town, exploring its Blue Flag beaches and lush green winelands before heading to the famous Sabi Sand Game Reserve for a Big Five safari experience. The luxury lodge offers a wonderful experience for seasoned safari-goers or first-time adventurers.

Everything comes to a head in Botswana’s Okavango Delta, where you’ll have the opportunity to explore the Delta’s labyrinth of winding waterways, reed islands, fields of floating lily pads and pods of hippos.

Shinde

Shinde

Shinde is classic Botswana. It’s on the edge of a permanent lagoon, where the Delta’s crystal arteries pulse with life. It’s a place of rhythmic contrasts: the silent glide of a mokoro through papyrus-fringed channels, followed by the visceral thrill of lions on the golden floodplains.

The camp is shaded by mangosteen trees and has an understated charm, blending 1970s safari nostalgia with modern, multi-tiered architecture. The camp’s heart is a dramatic, split-level treehouse structure containing the dining area, lounges and a library, all connected by wooden walkways.

Seven spacious guest tents have private viewing decks and en-suite bathrooms, along with indoor and outdoor showers. There’s a swimming pool with a deck that overlooks the Shinde Lagoon, making it a prime spot for birdwatching.

The camp is 100% solar-powered, with limited Wi-Fi in guest tents. There is a dedicated family unit with two bedrooms.
