andBeyond Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge

"Luxury safari outfitter andBeyond operates a trio of lodges in Botswana’s Okavango Delta, each with their own unique appeal. Set on a private concession, adjacent to wildlife-rich Moremi Game Reserve, Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge features a striking series of decks, indoor/outdoor lounges, pathways, and curved, wooden rooftops—all inspired by the nests of golden weaver birds—that make this a safari experience far from the ordinary. Xaranna Okavango Delta Camp, meanwhile, is secluded on its own island (arrival is by motorboat most of the year), and water lilies, hippos, and frogs provide inspiration for its playful decor. Nearby, Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp comprises nine tented suites that look out on mopane woodlands and flooded grasslands, offering unparalleled access to Botswana’s famed wildlife. —Nicholas DeRenzo"
