Sandibe Safari Lodge Botswana
Sandibe guest lodge has eight deluxe
thatched cottages that are positioned to capture the presence of
special trees and natural features such as a vast termite mound,
a river inlet or an age-old elephant crossing point. The cottages
have en suite bathrooms, open showers and private decks. The elevated
game-viewing decks of each cottage overlook the Santantebi River.
Built with a commitment to "treading
lightly on the earth," Sandibe's architecture evokes the earthy,
organic, living forest. No trees were sacrificed in the building
of the lodge; instead, cottages were built in a natural clearing.
Any saplings that needed removing were carefully transplanted into
the surrounding forest.
The spacious rooms are decorated in
a rich fusion of ochre and tactile textiles like silk and leather,
and feature woven mats, copper and rough-hewn wood. A quiet generator,
solar power and absence of air-conditioners means that your comfort
is ensured without interfering with the environment and the area's
natural tranquillity.
