Okavango Delta · Botswana
Singita Elela
Eight camps on stilts, flowing with the water of the Delta
Elela means ‘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.

Design & Atmosphere
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. The hub at the heart of the property includes a shared dining area, the Conservation Lounge, the Boutique & Gallery, a fitness space, a deli, kitchens, a canteen, offices, a clinic, and the regional campus of the Singita Community Culinary School. Guests are welcome to explore and engage with people across these spaces at any time. Singita Elela is located in an expansive concession on 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.
