Opening in Dec 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. (singita)

Two-Bedroom Camp
QUAD/FAMILY (2 SUITES)
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 personalization. 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.

They balance personal spaces with communal ones and are connected to the lodge’s heart – a central hub – via walkways.
