No trees were sacrificed in the building of the lodge; instead, cottages were built in a natural clearing that was allready there. Any saplings that needed removing were carefully transplanted into the surrounding forest.
The lounge and dining areas are in the heart of the camp, tucked under a soaring canopy of trees. Shaded decks slung with hammocks afford views across the watery labyrinth and grassland.
Sandibe has a shaded swimming pool and well stocked curio shop. The communal areas face into the sunset. The meandering paths of the camp are those used by elephant and wildlife for hundreds of years.
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.
Each of just eight deluxe thatched cottages is 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.
