Singita is expanding its footprint in Africa with the announcement of Singita Elela, a new lodge set to open in Botswana’s renowned Okavango Delta in 2026.
This iconic addition to Singita’s portfolio reflects the brand’s 100-year commitment to conservation and offers guests an unparalleled connection to one of Africa’s most biodiverse landscapes.
A Lodge Inspired by the Delta
Elela, meaning “to flow” in Setswana, embodies the essence of the Okavango Delta—its cycles, fluidity, and natural continuity. The lodge’s design and guest experience are deeply rooted in the Delta’s dynamic environment, creating a seamless harmony between luxury and nature.
The Okavango Delta is a rich tapestry of waterways, lagoons, grasslands, and swamps that shift with the seasons, supporting an extraordinary variety of wildlife. Singita Elela’s design will celebrate this complexity while offering guests an experience that is as immersive as it is luxurious.
Exclusive Access to Pristine Wilderness
Singita Elela will offer unparalleled access to one of the largest private concessions in the Okavango Delta, spanning 170,000 hectares of untouched wilderness. This exclusive privilege ensures guests a sense of solitude and vastness, allowing for intimate wildlife encounters in a pristine natural setting.
A Natural Continuation of Singita’s Legacy
Open year-round, Elela will embrace Singita’s long-standing ethos of conservation and connection. While it marks a new chapter for the Singita family, the lodge will remain true to the principles that have defined Singita’s legacy—respect for nature, thoughtful design, and extraordinary guest experiences.
