Sandibe is a great new design-orientated lodge, which is the flagship product. I loved the open layout of the main area with the light airy decor. The rooms are very spacious with the sitting area at the entrance and then an open bathroom with outdoor shower.
There are some design features at Sandibe, where perhaps the designer got a little too carried away, which are not so practical. The inside shower is a little claustrophobic as it’s a very small entrance with solid walls that surround you. If they didn’t show me where the toilet was, I don’t think I would have found it… Sun shines right into the bedroom ii the late afternoon and also reflects off the plunge pool which is in the middle of the veranda. So I would have liked a bit of shading over the back door to try and block the sun a little. They do have wooden blind doors that you could close, but then you wouldn’t get the views on to the waterways outside.
They also have quite a lot of baboons coming through camp. Plus quite a lot of spiders which are quite noticeable as they move around quite a bit and are quite fast… bad for arachnophobics. (They apparently love the type of wood design that’s been used in the main lodge…)
Again, one of the few camps with air conditioning. There’s a stable power source with solar electricity back-up.
