Okavango Delta
Singita Botswana, Elela
The Okavango Delta in Botswana represents a significant expansion of conservation efforts in Africa. Singita Elela, scheduled to commence operations in 2026, will occupy a pristine 170,000-hectare concession within this remarkable ecosystem. The name "Elela," derived from Setswana meaning "to flow," embodies the perpetual motion and fluidity characteristic of this dynamic landscape.
The property joins an esteemed collection of award-winning luxury safari camps and lodges in Botswana with an established reputation for world-class experiences in some of Africa's most exclusive safari destinations.
Game that are abundant in the area include Giraffe, Zebra, Elephant, Impala, Tssessebe, Lechwe, Wildebeest, Buffalo and Warthogs. A resident pride of Lion at camp can be seen during the day and heard roaring through night - a thrilling sound as you lie in the comfort and safety of your tent. Also available at Abu Camp, aside from the Elephant back safaris, are game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, a special night drive, guided nature walks, bird watching and time spent drifting on the tranquil waters of the Okavango Delta in a mokoro (canoe) with expert local guides.
Like a living, breathing entity, the Delta dances to the rhythm of ancient cycles. When the rains arrive, water serpentines through age-old channels, breathing life into dormant waterways. As seasons shift, these same channels retreat, leaving behind a transformed landscape that tells the story of nature's eternal choreography.
