Sandibe

Sandibe Safari Lodge is sheltered in a forest of wild palms and fig trees and flanked by the papyrus-rich channels of the Okavango Delta. The sensitively designed lodge witnesses the ever-changing moods of the Delta, from wintry oasis to rainy rejuvenation.

A Desperate Elephant

On our way back to the lodge one afternoon, driving next to the Airstrip, we spotted an elephant next to the road energetically shaking a palm tree, and trying desperately to shake off some of the fruit. The poor elephant fought long and hard to get at least one piece of fruit or at least one nut - but to no avail! He struggled for a while before moving off into the thick bush.
