A short insight in the Delta

Botswana between 6 Sep 2008 and 8 Sep 2008

Trip rating: Excellent
"The small stay at Shinde came at the right moment of the holidays. After having been driving Namibia two weeks we deserved some rest, and we found it at this camp. The staff look after guests all the time, but without being bothering, quite gentle and helpful.

It was expensive according to what we spent in some other parts of Africa (including Botswana), but I think this is not a matter of Expert Africa, but of the Botswana government policy and the lodge operators.

In any case we received what we were expecting and our feedback is satisfactory"

Shinde Camp

Shinde Camp

"Nice stay at Shinde"

2 nights Arrived 6 Sep 2008
"Shinde is located in a beautiful place, close to the channels of Okavango and, in the dry season, with an extension of dry land that allows to go for game drives and safari bush walks.

Staff is friendly, the tents are quite Ok, and one can find at all times something to do (even resting for siesta). Food is ok, and the ambience in the camp is quite informal which allows easy going with other guests. Fauna is the one expected at the Delta, with dominance of red lechtwe, tsesebee, blue wildebeest, zebra, giraffe and hippos and elephant, also hyena,and cats as lion and leopard (those late ones more elusive to see).

I myself didn't give a chance to the pool, which I see useless in such a place, but some other guests tried, so it depends on one's moods. Guides are pretty good, with a good knowledge of the area and the ecosystem, and eager to talk to visitors about anything."
