A fabulous feet-on-the-ground mobile tented camp, Sandibe under Canvas embodies the very essence of a safari exploration. Set close to its namesake, the Sandibe Channel, the area is notorious for its predator action. Situated in the southern Okavango Delta, the area is a magnet for elephants in uncountable numbers, as well as plains game and their hungry predators, including lions and wild dogs.
Creating a delightfully informal atmosphere, open-sided tents of Sandibe Under Canvas host the dining and lounge areas. Ideal for relaxing over siesta time, just taking in the watery Delta landscape over a chilled drink, or later, with a sundowner around the fire. The next morning your breakfast will have a delightfully smoky flavour after being cooked over the coals.
Sandibe Under Canvas mobile tents are fitted with double or twin beds, and have their own en-suite bathrooms with separate flush loos. Throw yourself into the safari spirit under a bucket shower, and all the hot water you need. A table and chairs outside your tent entrance suggests time for a journal entry, or a spot of birdwatching during siesta time. And don’t hesitate to ask the private butler for any assistance. The absence of Wi-Fi simply amplifies the remoteness of your situation, offering precious quiet time to just take it all in.
The Sandibe area is famed around the world as an Important Bird Area. If there’s one item you simply can’t do without it’s your binoculars, and a good bird app. The birding here is a feast for all the senses. Game drives are supremely rewarding too, while the sunset light in this spectacular landscape provides exceptional photographic opportunities.
