Singita has announced plans to open its first Botswana property in the Okavango Delta.
Singita Elela is set to open in July 2026 and will offer travellers exclusive year-round access to a 170 000-hectare concession.
“As our presence in Africa gradually and naturally grows, we are privileged to be expanding into Botswana’s Okavango Delta. Singita Elela will embody the Delta’s fluidity in all ways. Adapting as nature itself does, we are moving our design and guest experience forward in honour of this new region and its ever-evolving landscape,” Singita said in an announcement.
Specific details regarding booking rates, design or room configuration have yet to be released, but the luxury lodge group hinted at a flowing design in line with the new property’s name.
“Elela – meaning ‘to flow’ in Setswana – will be designed to celebrate the Delta’s essence of eternal cycles and continuity. A new lodge concept will echo this with an ease embedded into the design and experience it offers, which will place the spirit of this wonder-filled oasis at its centre.”
More details on the lodge will be announced in due course.
Singita currently operates lodges in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Rwanda.
