Stay at Mapula Lodge

Set in the Northern fringes of the Okavango Delta on a 220,000-acre plot. Mapula Lodge is located on a large treed island surrounded by the stunning lagoons, floodplains and trumpeting elephants that are iconic of this delta landscape. The lodge is incredibly secluded making it an even more blissful place to spot the abundance of wildlife.

There are nine large canvas-and-thatch bedroom tents all with king size four poster beds and en-suite bathrooms with both indoor and outdoor showers. The lodge is set to reopen in April 2018 and the tents have all been stylishly refurbished to include traditional features. In the main area of the lodge,

there is a swimming pool – perfect to cool off after a game drives in the delta heat. The pool also looks over a hippo-filled lagoon below.

This area is known for having the highest concentration of lion than anywhere in the Okavango Delta. There’s a huge diversity of species in the reserve, in addition to lion, leopard, cheetah and wild dog, you’ll also spot lesser-known predators such as caracal, serval and mongoose. The birdlife is also wonderful here, with the opportunity to spot the endangered wattled crane, carmine bee-eater, and the African paradise flycatcher.

Experiences

The Pitchers

We had the most amazing time! John Barclay and his team were very special and the mobile safari exclusive and superb. Moremi was very quiet with few other tourists – no more than a dozen other vehicles seen in four days. Macatoo was also excellent with good riding and game. We were so grateful for the help that you offered when our BA flights went wrong. Many thanks again for the superb service and recommendations which made for a great holiday.
