“Shinde is a place to breathe, where the sounds of the bush surprise you again and again and where you feel completely at home in the heart of the Delta.”
Hidden in a private concession in the northern Okavango Delta lies Shinde Camp. Situated on a palm island at the edge of Shinde Lagoon, this classic and stylish camp is a quiet homage to oasis-like tranquility and refinement. Here, you step out of the hustle and bustle of the normal world and into a realm of comfort, nature, wildlife, and relaxation as only possible in Botswana.
Charming elegance, naturally embedded
The seven spacious tented suites (plus a family suite) are elevated on wooden decks amidst palms and reed formations. Each tent features an ensuite bathroom with both indoor and outdoor showers, a veranda with a chill lounge area, and access to a shared pool. Charming, understated decor, with attention to detail: such as boots for the muddy paths, a yoga mat, and pleasant air circulation via ceiling fans.
Safari in silence, without the crowds
Since Shinde Camp is located in a private concession, you are almost always out exploring alone. Open vehicles for land and water activities, mokoro and boat safaris on permanent waters, and guided walks with armed guides offer you a safari experience that feels like your private adventure. Everything at Shinde Camp is intimate and grand at the same time.

Wild & diverse
The landscape around Shinde Camp combines open grasslands with wet lagoons. Elephants, giraffes, buffalo, hippos, and even the rare sitatunga leave their tracks here. Predators such as leopards, lions, and wild dogs often pass by. Birds and reptiles can be found around the water. And the hippos? They glide gently through the water and linger near the deck of Shinde Camp.
Timeless safari, forever in your heart
Every morning begins with soft sunlight kissing the trees. Every evening you conclude by a campfire or under the stars. At Shinde Camp, you don’t choose a program minute by minute.
