Elela (opening 2026)

Made up of ancient meandering waterways that fill when the rains arrive and recede as the seasons change, islands bursting with myriad species, and an ever-shifting patchwork of lagoons, grasslands and swamps, the Okavango Delta embodies nature’s own inherent ebb and flow.

Elela – meaning ‘to flow’ in Setswana – will celebrate the Delta’s very essence of continuity. A new lodge concept will mirror this with an ease and fluidity embedded into its design, while the experience will place the spirit of this life-filled oasis at its centre.

A year-round lodge, Elela will personify immersion. And while new to our family, it will be a natural continuation of all that we hold true.

Come with us on the journey as Elela comes to life…
