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!
