Adjacent to a hippopotamus lagoon in the Okavango Delta

The stone-and-thatch chalets of Mapula Lodge, elevated on platforms, are situated on a tree island at the boundary of a seasonal floodplain, providing a view of a permanent lagoon.  Located in the Mapula Reserve private concession in the northern Okavango Delta, the resort offers tourists diverse game watching and an array of safari activities.

Game drives and nocturnal excursions offer an exceptional perspective for observing diverse plains game, formidable herbivores like elephants, and elusive predators such as lions, leopards, wild dogs, and cheetahs.  Mokoro paths and boating immerse you in the aquatic realm of the Delta, where, among hippos and crocodiles, one may encounter wading elephants, sitatunga, lechwe, and a diverse variety of the 450 species present in this region.  Specialized birdwatching and picture expeditions are offered.

This cozy camp comprises nine canvas-and-thatch en-suite tents, including romantic elements such as outdoor showers, traditional zinc baths, expansive mesh windows, and private patios overlooking the lagoon.  The open-concept main lodge has a lounge, a small library, a curios shop, an expansive deck, and a swimming pool.
