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.

ACCOMMODATION & FACILITIES AT Shinde

The camp features eight spacious safari tents built on raised wooden platforms, each with an en-suite bathroom, indoor and outdoor showers, and a private deck overlooking the surrounding floodplains. Interiors are tastefully furnished with comfortable beds draped in mosquito nets, writing desks, and lounge chairs, maintaining a traditional yet stylish safari feel. The main area includes an open plan lounge, dining room, and a multi level deck for uninterrupted views of the plains and waterways. A small plunge pool offers a refreshing break during the hotter parts of the day. Meals are freshly prepared and served either in the dining area, al fresco under the stars, or at scenic bush locations. The camp is solar powered and designed with eco-friendly practices to minimize environmental impact.

The mix of water and dry habitats makes Shinde an excellent destination for birders, with species ranging from colorful kingfishers to the sought-after Pel’s fishing owl.
