Singita confirms December 2026 opening date for Botswana lodge 

Singita has announced that its first safari lodge in Botswana will begin welcoming guests from December 11, 2026. 

 

Singita Elela is situated in the Okavango Delta and features eight circular camps ranging in size from one to four bedrooms, connected by walkways above the reserve’s floodplains. 

 

Each camp has a dedicated guide, tracker and host. 

 

Set within the 43,000-acre NG26 concession of the Okavango Delta, guests will have private access to “one of the Delta’s most expansive and ecologically rich regions”.

 

The brand said the property marks “an opportunity to deepen Singita’s 100-year purpose of protecting vast tracts of African wilderness while collaborating with people and partners to grow meaningful, lasting impact”.

 

Chief executive of Singita, Jo Bailes, added: “As a brand built on a shared love and reverence for nature and Africa – passed down through generations – Singita has longed to create something meaningful here, with the people of Botswana.”
