Shinde Footsteps

Our View

Shinde Footsteps offers a more intimate and walking safari-centred experience than Ker & Downey’s main Shinde Camp in the same Okavango Delta concession. It’s a marvellous option for those who want a laid back but special safari experience, with a focus on the great outdoors.

Shinde Footsteps - The Facts

In low season Shinde Footsteps is excellent value at $700 per person per night - which is very reasonable in the world of Okavango Delta private concession safaris. In high season this price increases to over $1,000 per person per night. However, it’s well worth a visit for safari purists - those who want to absorb themselves into the fascinating Okavango Delta eco-system through informative walking safaris, without any inclination to relax by a pool in the afternoon.

Where many Delta camps lean on luxurious mod-cons, the ethos of this camp is simple comfort but with an incredibly intimate and personalised experience. With a maximum of just six guests at any one time, Shinde Footsteps will do its utmost to ensure you feel at home. The traditional canvas-encased wooden bandas, which were rebuilt in 2022, are attractive and spacious enough, with indoor and outdoor showers, and the main area has a dining tent, lounge with views over a hippo pool, and a station to edit photos.

Outside of camp, the incredible Okavango Delta wildlife prowls, with great concentrations of antelope, lion, leopard and even wild dogs. Shinde Footsteps’ location means it’s great for water and land-based activities, including night drives, mokoro rides, game drives and it specialises in walking safaris.

Shinde Footsteps really shines when taken on an exclusive basis by a group of friends or family, which would make for the most incredible Okavango trip. It is also fabulous for families with their young explorers programme, and for couples, who will benefit from the personalised service Shinde Footsteps offers, given its small head count.
