At Shinde Footsteps, you enter one of the great, untamed regions of Africa - the spectacular Okavango Delta. Experience the astonishing contrasts created when the mighty Okavango River flows into the arid Kalahari Desert - the result is a variety of habitats, riverine forest, palm islands, permanent swamps and dry sandveld all with an unparalleled wealth of animal diversity. This camp maintains the elegance and eccentricity of the original ‘under canvas African safari’. Hosting a maximum of six guests, Shinde Footsteps offers an intimate safari experience for couples, small groups of friends or family alike.

Accommodation

The Shinde Footsteps is a comfortable private camp which accommodates guests in three specially designed Meru tents. One of the three twin/double bedded tents has an additional bedroom converting it into a family unit that sleeps five. Each tent has its own newly refurbished en-suit bathroom including wash basin, porcelain flush toilet and bush shower, even a daily laundry service is provided. The ‘bush kitchen’ is run by our chef and prepares menus to whet all appetites.

Activities

Walking in the Okavango Delta’s wilderness is the highlight of a ‘true safari’ experience. No special training is required as the focus is on exploration and discovery – tracking fresh spoor each morning to reveal the night’s events. Other possible activities include game-drives, Mokoro or fishing trips (subject to water levels). The Shinde Footsteps walking experience combines well with the luxuries offered by either Shinde, Dinaka, Okuti or Kanana.
