Shinde Camp is an intimate camp located on the edge of Shinde Lagoon in the heart of Botswana's Okavango Delta. The main camp's unique raised tree house offers spectacular views of the reeded waterways, home to a fascinating birdlife. The Okavango Delta is made up of permanent water areas as well as large dry regions home to a variety of animals, reptiles and birds, making this beautiful natural wonder perfect for exploring by vehicle, on foot or by traditional mokoro.
The camp's relaxed luxury, personalised service, attention to detail and wide variety of activities ensures an authentic Delta safari in the heart of the Botswana wilderness. Explore the area with a professional guide on a morning walking safari, on a mokoro, or on a game drive in specially designed vehicles. Head out into the lagoon for a chance to do some fly fishing.
Room
Shinde has eight tented chalets, quite traditional in design and fairly small by the standards of most modern camps. At the front there's a shaded porch with soft chairs, and inside, lively African fabrics give a warm, cosy feel. That said, the combination of dark wood and canvas can make some of the rooms seem a little dark, despite large mesh windows. These windows have flaps which can be lowered to let in extra light and a breeze, or closed for extra warmth and added privacy. Small touches make the chalets feel quite homely: a jar of cookies baked by the chef; a decanter of sherry laid out for the evening; and a couple of comfortable armchairs. Wooden or tiled floors are dotted with rugs, and the colourful cushions and bedthrows really stand out against white cotton bed linen. In a twin configuration, the beds are separated by a bedside table with built-in lamps for reading, but they can be pushed together on request to make a double bed. There is an overhead fan, and mosquito nets above the beds. A doorway behind the bed leads to an en-suite bathroom with twin ceramic washbasins beneath twin mirrors, a glass-fronted shower, and an entirely separate flushing toilet. Three of Shinde’s tents are built on individual, raised wooden decks to form their own private area, known as the Shinde Enclave.
Classic Safari Tents
Shinde comprises of twin bedded classic safari tents each with en-suite bathrooms, hot and cold running water and flush toilet. Every possible comfort has been catered for - from generated electricity and a private viewing deck through to a handy flashlight! Each tent, strategically positioned, offers splendid views, whether across the Delta's mysterious waterways or open grasslands.
Honeymoon Tent
Delightful honeymoon option - guests are accommodated in the honeymoon tent and enjoy special touches.
Enclave Tents
The exclusive Shinde Enclave is a 'camp within a camp', offering the ultimate in personal service and an indelible wilderness experience. This camp offers guests the services of a private chef, waiter and housekeeper as well as their own professional guide and vehicle.
For exclusive use of Enclave, children as young as 7 years are permitted.
