SHINDE ISLAND CAMP Water camp with 8 tents Northern Okavango Delta Game-drives & excellent birding Nature walks, fishing & canoeing

Shinde Island Camp lies on a lush palm-studded island on the edge of a lagoon in the heart of the northern Okavango Delta.

Shinde is a remote camp and is accessed by air. Set under the branches of mangosteen and African ebony trees are eight Meru tents with covered veranda and en suite shower and w.c. The main unit is a multi-tiered, wood and canvas structure with teak decking. This houses the dining, lounge and bar areas. The view from the raised dining area is of reed waterways, which are home to a variety of birds. There is a plunge pool which offers welcome respite during the heat of the day.

Activities include morning and afternoon game-drives in open safari vehicles, fishing for bream, pike and tiger fish, nature walks, exploring the waterways by mokoro (canoe) or visits to Gadikwe Island to view the breeding colony of herons (during the summer months), egrets, pelicans, cormorants and storks.

At the end of the day, you can relax around the campfire and enjoy the stillness of a starlit night. Shinde Island Camp closes annually from 1 December to 28 February.
