Activities
Twice-daily game-drives:
Experienced rangers and Batswana trackers will lead you on exhilarating game-drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles. Spotlit night game-drives are especially exciting as we explore the thrilling drama of the African bush at night, possibly revealing hunting prides of lion or the elusive leopard.
Interpretive bush walks:
Explore the Okavango Delta on interpretive wilderness walks with a professionalguide steeped in knowledge of the local fauna and flora, and get up-close-and-personal with Sandibe’s magnificent wilderness. Regretfully, children 16 years and younger cannot participate in bush walks.
Tranquil mekoro (dugout canoes) and eco-craft excursions:
Few memories can equal being poled through the channels of the Okavango Delta in a mokoro by an experienced guide, or on Lily – Sandibe’s stylish silent electric wooden eco-craft. These boat excursions may be enjoyed throughout the year and are best during the flood season from June to September.
Exceptional birdwatching:
Sandibe offers abundant birdwatching opportunities with 349 species recorded here. Waterbirds flock to the marshes – storks, herons, kingfishers and brightly-coloured bee-eaters – and you have an excellent chance of spotting the Pel’s fishing owl, one of only three fishing owls in Africa, while enjoying a mokoro or eco-craft excursion.
Fishing:
With myriad fish species including the finetoothed squeaker and African pike, fishing from Sandibe’s eco-craft is an enjoyable excursion.
