ACCESS & LOCATION of Shinde
Shinde lies in the Shinde Concession in the northeastern Okavango Delta. The most practical way to reach the camp is via light aircraft to Shinde Airstrip, which is about a 25 minute flight from Maun or roughly 1 hour and 15 minutes from Kasane. From the airstrip, guests are met by their guide for a short game drive of approximately 5 to 10 minutes to the camp. Road access from major towns is not feasible due to the seasonal flooding and remoteness of the delta.
