đż Sandibe Lodge: The Wild Heart of the Okavango đž
A few weeks ago I was fortunate to stay at Andbeyondâs Sandibe Lodge, and wow⌠this is truly where wildlife dreams come to life. In just two days, every single game drive was unforgettable. We saw cats on every drive, witnessed an incredible hunt by a pack of over 30 wild dogs (we followed themâit was pure adrenaline!), watched young lion cubs playing with their mother, spotted hyenas, giraffes, hippos, and so much more. And this was during low season! Imagine how amazing it is here all year round.
The lodge itself is absolutely stunning. In February 2025, Sandibe will undergo a major refurbishment, and from April 2025, it will reopen as a completely reimagined, next-level safari lodge. Itâs located in one of the most wildlife-rich areas of the Okavango Deltaâa true hotspot for incredible game viewing.
But what makes Sandibe really special are the people. The service is warm and personal, with handwritten notes from the staff, big smiles all around, and food that is fresh, delicious, and made with so much care.
If youâre planning your next safari, I canât recommend Sandibe enough. This place is pure magic, and I canât wait for you to experience it too!
