Elela
Elela Luxury Lodge & Safari
Okavango Delta, BotswanaAn intuitive extension of our 100-year purpose
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.
Opening in 2026, Elela – meaning ‘to flow’ in Setswana – will celebrate the Delta’s very essence of continuity. It will echo this with an ease and fluidity embedded into its design, while the experience will place the spirit of this life-filled oasis at its centre.
A natural continuation of all that we hold true
Made up of ancient meandering waterways that fill when the rains arrive and recede as the seasons change, islands bursting with a myriad of species, and an ever-shifting patchwork of lagoons, grasslands and swamps, the Delta mirrors nature’s own ebb and flow. Its complexity and biodiversity are matched only by its beauty.
Unique to the Elela experience is a sense of unending vastness – while the Delta embodies an already inherent sense of space, Singita guests will also have exclusive access to one of the largest concessions in the region – 420 000 acres of pristine wilderness.
A year-round lodge, Elela will personify immersion. And while new to our family, it will be a natural continuation of all that we hold true.
