Daily and nightly game drives led by experienced tracker-guides are the primary activity at Sandibe. Bush walks in the delta are an excellent way to connect with the bush in a more intimate way. While mokoro rides in a traditional dug-out canoe are perhaps the quintessential delta activity. There are also “silent” motor boat tours too. Birdwatching is excellent and numerous water birds, including ducks, geese, and teals, are common, while more unusual species include long-winged falcons, slaty egrets, black coucals, black egrets, and brown fire finches.

Sandibe’s two-story main lounge and dining area is a soaring, open structure. The ground floor hosts an appealing lounge area with a fridge stocked with cool beverages. The covered dining area is attractive, but when the weather is good meals are often taken outside next to the open fire. During the rainy season, dinner is often served in the privacy of the cottage. An excellent wine cellar offers the standard wines but also has a good selection of premium wines and champagne. On the upper level are more comfy chairs, and the views are excellent. A splash pool is a set just apart from the main area, but sun-loungers and shady trees make it a prime spot for relaxation.
