Sandibe Okavango 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.

I...

this was our first afternoon/evening drive and the leopard allowed to observe him/her in a tree for a long time. then, the animal slowly came down to a nearby spot where a freshly killed impala was laying. it dragged it to the foot of the tree and began to feed briefly, then deciding to rest some more in the tree.

We were fortunate to see this sighting 15 minutes before our flight to Nxabega. The lioness and her three cubs killed the young giraffe in the early morning hours and were having a feast. Many animals gather round the airstrip in the evenings as it is very open and they fell saver for the nights rest. But the predators also come here to hunt as they is a...

Late afternoon we stopped to look at fresh leopard tracks that went off the road into the bushes and then heard the alarm call of baboons. We went towards the baboons to see in which direction they were looking. We went in that direction to search for the leopard. Our guide Gee, informed the other guide Katenbo of the area that we were searching in....

After a coffee break during the morning game drive, our ranger, Katembo, noticed that there are fresh leopard tracks on the road we had previously driven on. Only 100 meters from were we saw the track, we saw the leopard move into the bushes. We followed to find not only one but three leopards – a mother and two cubs, aged at approximately one year old....

This crocodile, approximately 1 year old, can be found at the water crossing closest to the camp everyday. He lies waiting for a vehicle to go through the water creating waves which push small fish towards it to feed on.

We were watching a lioness drowsing in the afternoon sun, when her two "teenage" cubs began roaring a few metres away. They had taken down a young impala, and as we watched, the mother ran over to kill the impala, and the three of them feasted on the animal, completely consuming it within 30 minutes.

A female leopard popped up out of the long grass near our vehicle, and the attached photos will show how beautifully they can camouflage themselves!
