Shinde is a magical hideaway in the wildlife abundant Shinde private concession, nestled within the shade of ancient jackal berries, water figs and knob thorns and built in a remote and exclusive setting on the edge of the northern Okavango Delta.
The fully solar powered camp consists of 7 large safari style tents and 1 family suite, which consist of two bedrooms with a shared en suite bathroom. The classic style tents built on timber decks features an en suite bathroom with an indoor and outdoor shower. The décor is light with elements of the Delta, like lily pads and fauna featured in locally produced art work and furniture, but retaining the earthy feeling of a true safari with a touch of leather and brass.
The main lodge is known as the ‘tree house’ and is a multi-tiered structure with the dining room adjoined by stairs and ramps (for wheelchair-friendly access) to several lounging areas each offering different aspects across the delta. For alfresco dining, the outdoor dining deck brings guests closer to nature. The fire deck provides a meeting point for guests for stargazing in the evenings while enjoying a drink around the campfire. Shinde also features a curio shop and a swimming pool.
Activities at Shinde include day and night game drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles which offer some of the finest dry land game viewing, guided nature walks, motor boating and mokoro excursions. All water activities are dependent on adequate water levels.

Shinde was rebuilt in 2020. Shinde is an iconic camp, one of the first in the Okavango Delta, and loved by many. The new Shinde pays homage to its former self retaining the authentic classic safari style. The new tents and main area provide a luxury experience with a touch of historical charm. The décor of the new camp can be described as “the best of nature within an authentic safari design – still with the understated, friendly and intimate Ker & Downey Botswana feel”. Elegant, Classic, Opulent ‘Out of Africa’. A ‘worldly’ sophisticated safari experience. Every possible comfort has been created for – from full solar electricity and a private viewing deck, through to yoga mats!
Guests are accommodated in a spacious, safari tent consisting of two bedrooms, shared en-suite bathroom with indoor and outdoor shower, hot and cold running water and flush toilet. The tents are well spaced, affording privacy whilst remaining within comfortable distance from the main camp area. Roomy enough to sleep a maximum of 5 people. Shinde takes children from the age of 7 years old.
