The Sandibe Safari Lodge is a thatched structure on a private concession between the Okavango Delta and the Moremi Game Reserve, a prime location for wildlife-viewing. The lodge may be rustic and secluded, but certainly not basic. Exceptional standards of luxurious hospitality have earned Sandibe a place on the prestigious "Conde Nast Traveler" Gold List for 2009. Guests stay in airy safari cottages set amidst the forest. The cottages have thatched roofs and include private game-viewing decks, en suite bathrooms and open-air showers. There is a swimming pool within the forest, and game drives, guided bush walks and excursions in dugout canoes or electric wooden eco-crafts on the Okavango Delta are all available.
