Duma Tau Camp

Set along the game-rich Linyanti River in northern Botswana, Duma Tau offers a refined safari experience defined by its extraordinary wildlife and striking wetland landscapes. With just ten tented suites, including family accommodations, the camp ensures an intimate and highly personalized stay. Expert guides lead exceptional game drives and water-based activities, with frequent sightings of large elephant herds and predators drawn to the river’s edge. Blending contemporary design with natural materials, and framed by expansive views of the floodplains, Duma Tau delivers a safari that is both dynamic and deeply connected to its environment.

Singita Elela Lodge

Opening in December 2026, Singita Elela is Singita’s first Botswana lodge, set in the heart of the Okavango Delta. Named for the Setswana word “to flow,” it reflects the rhythm of the delta’s shifting waters. Elevated suites blend effortlessly into the landscape, offering private pools, decks, and guided experiences.

A Deeper Look at Singita Elela

Singita Elela sits within Botswana’s private Abu Concession—170,000 hectares of pure wilderness at the heart of the Okavango Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its shifting waterways and remarkable biodiversity. The lodge’s design is intentionally fluid, with soft, circular architecture inspired by rippling water and the organic forms of the Delta itself. Every element has been created to tread lightly: stilted structures lift the suites above the land, renewable materials blend into the terrain, and open-air living spaces draw the outside in.

Guests can expect Singita’s signature exclusivity—just eight accommodations, each offering a private deck, plunge pool, and personalized guiding. Days may include silent mokoro glides through papyrus channels, photographic safaris in open 4x4s, or meditative moments spent watching elephants wade through the floodplains at sunset. Evenings are defined by candlelit dining and the quiet hum of the Delta, a reminder of the wild serenity that defines this part of Africa.

Design in Motion

Elela’s design moves with the Delta itself—fluid, organic, and quietly refined. Four intimate camps form a circle of connection, linked by graceful walkways and shaded gathering spaces. Natural textures, soft light, and gentle curves mirror the rhythm of the floodplains, creating harmony between architecture and wilderness.

Experiencing Botswana is a journey into the heart of wilderness, where the remoteness of the destination amplifies the sense of adventure. The Okavango Delta, with its raw, untamed beauty, offers a unique spectacle of wildlife in their natural habitat. From gliding silently through the crystal-clear waters in a mokoro dugout canoe to the sunrise morning game drives listening to the birds singing, one witnesses nature in its most pristine form – surrounded by the enchanting sights and sounds of this unspoiled paradise.
