Singita will open its first property in the Okavango Delta in 2026, in what the ecotourism brand says will be “one of Botswana’s most luxurious safari lodges”.
Named after the Setswana word for ‘to flow’, Singita Elela sits in the northern Okavango on a private concession, surrounded by 170,000 hectares of protected wilderness.
The brand says, “Singita Elela represents a continuation of the brand’s legacy to protecting and preserving Africa’s most precious ecosystems”.
“As our presence in Africa gradually and naturally grows, we are privileged to be expanding into Botswana’s Okavango Delta to play our part in preserving the life contained by the wilderness of the continent.”
The property will be offering both day and night safari drives with onsite facilities expected to reflect the luxurious experience as its other properties in South Africa, Tanzania, Zimbabwe and Rwanda.
In June, Singita opened ‘Milele’, a five-bedroom lodge in the heart of Serengeti in Tanzania.
Perched on a hilltop, there are more than 141,000 hectares of unspoilt savannah to explore.
When not on safari, guests can head to the onsite cinema room, fitness centre, relax in the heated spa pools, or gather around the firepit and reminisce about the wildlife they saw.
For wine lovers, private wine tastings are guided by a Singita sommelier who takes you through the renowned collection of award-winning wines in Milele’s fully stocked cellar.
Afterwards, retire to rooms with floor-to-ceiling glass doors opening to large decks, where you can have any number of wellness treatments.
