Singita Elela

Okavango Delta, Botswana

About Singita Elela

Opening in 2026, Elela, meaning 'to flow' in Setswana, a concept encapsulated by more than just its name. Inspired by the seasonality of the Okavango Delta, each of its eight camps is circular in design and set on stilts, meaning you can see the landscape from every angle, and the floods shifting around you.
This seamless continuation of natural motion is constant, and always within reach, allowing you to watch wildlife roam, weather patterns shift, and the sun move across the Delta from wherever you are in the lodge. The Elela experience is guided by what’s happening around the lodge, creating a sense of complete freedom and possibility. Elela is situated on NG26, an expansive concession in the southwest of the Delta made up of ancient meandering waterways and species-rich islands, lagoons, grasslands, and swamps. Its diversity and complexity are matched only by its beauty.

Accommodation Options

Two-Bedroom Camp
Elela’s two-bedroom camps are connected to the heart of the lodge, its central hub, via walkways, but separate enough for the space to feel entirely your own; a feeling that’s mirrored in their design. The balance of private and communal, and indoor and outdoor spaces means you can find quiet moments or opportunities for connection, as the weather and your needs shift. Each bedroom is the same size and features a closable screen for privacy, but there’s no separation from the landscape – or each other. The camp is enclosed and circular, with no clear front or back, meaning you can walk between rooms easily, and are surrounded by expansive views of the Delta wherever you are. A private kitchenette, dining area, and lounge, along with a pool (heated in winter), fireplace, and various seating pods, contribute to the sense of comfort and personalisation. There is ample room for wellness treatments and equipment, so you can work out or wind down in the comfort of your camp. Each camp comes with a private vehicle and a host, who is there to help shape your stay.
One-Bedroom Camp
Each camp at Elela comes with everything you need to settle in: a kitchenette, dining area, and lounge, spacious enough to accommodate wellness treatments and workouts; a pool to cool down in (heated in winter), a fire to warm up around, and seating on the various outdoor decks and spaces, so the landscape is always within reach. The camps’ circular design means there’s no clear front or back, and the expansiveness of the Delta is seen and felt at every point. They balance personal spaces with communal ones and are connected to the lodge’s heart – a central hub – via walkways. Each bedroom features a daybed, which is ideal for small children or simply lounging about, and a closable screen that creates a cocoon at night, adding a layer of privacy and comfort. Each camp comes with a private vehicle and a host, who is there to help shape your experience.
Four-Bedroom Camp
Situated a short drive from the heart of the lodge, Elela’s four-bedroom camp offers a sense that the Delta, in all its vastness, is entirely yours. With no designated front or back, but rather a circular design, it puts your surroundings – and they hold – in full and constant view. A kitchenette, dining room, deli, and lounge space help you make the space your own, while a pool (heated in winter), fireplace, wine cellar, and various indoor and outdoor seating pods facilitate ongoing and deeper connection, regardless of preferences and weather conditions. There’s ample room in the camp for wellness treatments and workouts, and the equipment needed for these is provided. Each bedroom is the same size and features a closable screen for privacy. Two of the rooms are enclosed and connected on one side of the camp, and two on the other. Movement between connected rooms is easy, but moving across to other rooms requires stepping outside. The camp comes with two private vehicles and a designated host, who is always available to help shape your experience.
