Okavango Delta

This luxury camp is nestled on a lush palm-dotted island in the heart of the northern Okavango Delta. Located at the edge of a lagoon, this tented safari camp is surrounded by clear waterways flowing over yellow sands and past palm-fringed islands teeming with birdlife and game. Delight in some of the best game viewing and bird watching in some of the most luxurious surroundings in the Delta.

The camp has eight large safari-style tents with en-suite bathrooms. Enjoy exquisite dining in the treehouse-style main area, relax in the beautifully decorated lounge and bar spaces or marvel at the stunning sights from the viewing deck, which benefits from views of both the grasslands and the Delta. There is also a relaxing sun deck with a refreshing swimming pool.

The camp has an exclusive use "camp within a camp," while still allowing access to the amenities of Shinde's main camp. The three tented accommodations on elevated teak platforms overlook vast papyrus and reed expanses dotted with palm islands. Ideal for families or small groups of up to six people. Please ask for details.

All game activities are accompanied by a guide who will escort game activities: morning, afternoon, and evening game drives, game walks, mokoro canoes, and motorboats.

How our Tent Ratings work

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.​

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world. 

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.
