Location
Shinde Island is nestled on a lush palm island
in the heart of the northern Okavango
Delta. Located at the edge of a lagoon,
it is surrounded by clear waterways which
flow over yellow sands and past palm-fringed
islands teeming with birdlife and game. This
is a photographer's delight. It's remoteness
has ensured that the innocent wildlife has
not been subject to the pressures of mass
tourism.

Attractions
The island is especially favored by members
of the antelope family, including the elusive
sitatunga whose elongated and splayed hooves
enable it to walk on the unstable beds of
reeds floating on the water. Our well-equipped
delta craft may take you on an interesting
trip where you will see fascinating breeding
colonies of herons, egrets, pelicans and storks.
Your guide will arrange walks, show you insects,
as well as a wide variety of bird life and
game. Shinde's abundant wildlife and the silent
waters of the Okavango
combine to make your stay a rare experience
indeed!
