Shinde

(Okavango Delta - Botswana)

General Description

Shinde is nestled on a lush palm dotted island in the heart of the northern Okavango Delta. Located at the edge of a lagoon, it is surrounded by clear waterways, which are teeming with birdlife and game. This eight tented camp is a photographer's delight as its remoteness has ensured that the wildlife has not been subjected to the pressures of mass tourism. This is one of the original camp sites in the Delta and a location where you can combine the waterways, lily covered lagoons and palm islands with stunning game viewing. Indeed, Shinde offers some of the finest dry land game viewing in Botswana with regular sightings of lion and leopard. This abundant animal and birdlife make for spectacular photographic and viewing opportunities by mokoro (traditional canoe), boating and bush walks. For the fishing enthusiasts, there are fly-fishing trips, and a chance to test your skills against the tiger fish!
