Shinde Footsteps

Shinde Footsteps is a recently rebuilt, exclusive safari retreat nestled in the Four Rivers region of the Shinde private concession in northern Botswana’s Okavango Delta. Overlooking a tranquil lagoon and surrounded by rich floodplain habitats, this intimate camp offers an exceptional blend of privacy, comfort and immersive safari adventure. With year-round access to both land and water-based activities, Shinde Footsteps is ideal for those seeking a classic Delta experience in a truly personal setting.

The camp accommodates a maximum of six guests in just four spacious canvas tents, including one family unit with two bedrooms. Each tent is classically appointed, featuring en suite facilities and designed to reflect the rustic charm of a traditional safari while offering all the essential comforts. Elevated slightly above ground level, the tents provide serene views over the surrounding wilderness and easy access to the camp’s main area.

Shinde Footsteps’ central guest area includes a comfortable open-plan lounge and dining space with sweeping views of the lagoon—perfect for enjoying a quiet coffee at dawn or sundowners in the golden light of sunset. A dedicated photo editing suite with desks, chairs and charging points caters to photography enthusiasts looking to review and refine their images. In the evenings, guests gather barefoot around the firepit beneath a sky full of stars, sharing stories of the day’s sightings. This is barefoot luxury at its finest: unpretentious, warm and deeply connected to nature.

ACTIVITIES

Shinde Footsteps offers a rich variety of activities that change with the seasons yet remain deeply rooted in the wild spirit of the Okavango Delta. Guests can enjoy year-round mokoro excursions and boat cruises through the region’s papyrus-lined channels, offering intimate sightings of aquatic species, frogs, and a remarkable array of birds. Fishing is available on a catch-and-release basis when water levels permit.

Morning and afternoon game drives reveal the area’s impressive diversity of wildlife, with regular sightings of predators such as lions, leopards, hyenas and African wild dogs, as well as giraffe, zebra, kudu and other plains game. Night drives add the thrill of searching for elusive nocturnal species under starlit skies.

The true highlight at Shinde Footsteps, however, is the opportunity for guided bush walks. Led by experienced professional guides, these walks allow guests to experience the bush on foot—tracking animals, interpreting spoor, and learning about the intricate ecosystem of the Delta in a way that is impossible from a vehicle. It is a profound and unforgettable way to connect with the wild.
