andBeyond expands its Botswana Under Canvas portfolio with two new Okavango Delta camps

andBeyond has reimagined luxury safari in the Okavango Delta with the launch of two new intimate camps, andBeyond Sandibe Under Canvas and andBeyond Nxabega Under Canvas, which officially launched in March 2026. Together with the newly refurbished andBeyond Chobe Under canvas, they complete a seamless seven-night circuit through Botswana’s most iconic wild places, a journey offering a rare combination of adventure, intimacy, and sustainability.

Botswana Under Canvas is not a lodge — it’s the wild, felt, heard, and breathed — an experience where comfort and wilderness merge so completely that you become part of it.
andBeyond Sandibe Under Canvas is set within one of the Okavango’s most wildlife-rich concessions, renowned for year-round sightings of lion, leopard, cheetah and wild dog. Days begin with the calls of the wild and close under a sky dense with stars. Game drives, walking safaris and community visits invite deeper discovery, revealing the pulse of
predator country with every step.

Further west, andBeyond Nxabega Under Canvas captures a different mood of the Delta where silence speaks volumes.
The Okavango reveals its softer side, with seasonal water-laced floodplains, mokoro glides and the hush of reeds brushing against a wooden paddle. Guests can join mokoro excursions, catch-and-release fishing (offered when water levels permit) or land-based game drives and walking safaris led by experienced guides. Here, the Delta encourages reflection, stillness and connection with nature’s gentler rhythm.
The camps are designed for minimal impact without compromising on comfort, offering an intimate experience with just three tents per camp and a maximum of six guests. Each tent features super king beds, double showers and
vanities, standing fans, running water throughout and Starlink Wi-Fi — a first for the Botswana Under Canvas offering.

Powered by a solar plant and supported by in-room power packs, USB ports and vehicle charging stations, the camp provides reliable connectivity while operating in harmony with the environment. Interiors reflect the Delta’s textures and tones, combining earthy greens, light wood, woven fibres and brushed metal to create a refined yet effortless sanctuary that feels completely in tune with the surrounding wilderness.

From the vast elephant herds of Chobe to the predator-rich plains of Sandibe and the tranquil waterways of Nxabega, andBeyond is introducing a seven-night journey that invites both adventure and ease. Shared logistics with
neighbouring lodges minimise environmental footprint, while partnerships with the nearby communities of Shorobe, Sexaxa, Gogomoga and Tsutsubega support employment, mentorship and conservation awareness through Wild Impact,

“Our new Botswana Under Canvas camps celebrate safari in its purest form. They are intimate, low-impact anddeeply connected to place, and the experience is raw, personal and deeply immersive. The luxuries here are the thoughtful kind – lanterns that glow like stars, fresh bread baked over coals and quiet care that lets the wild take centre stage. Sandibe captures the energy of predator country, while Nxabega reflects the calm of the Delta’s
waterways. Together with Chobe, they reveal the full spectrum of Botswana’s wild beauty.” says Riaan Venter,
