Mapula Lodge

Vintage A lodge or tented camp with very good food and service, and many have swimming pools. The rooms/tents are of good size but perhaps not as large as "Classic" properties. Facilities could be "Classic," but located in a sub-standard game viewing area.

Mapula is located in the Okavango Delta, surrounded by seasonal floodplains and the iconic landscape. The lodge is being reimagined and scheduled to open in 2027 as a contemporary, low-impact safari camp that blends into the Delta. The rebuilt lodge will feature 12 spacious safari suites, including a family unit, each with en suite bathroom, private viewing decks and a clean, modern aesthetic. The main area will include a mix of open-air and covered spaces, including a lounge and bar, shaded gazebo and swimming pool with expansive decking overlooking the hippo-filled lagoon.

Activities include day and night game drives, walking safaris, traditional mokoro or boat rides, sundowners, bird watching and cultural visits.
