Doors open 11 December 2026.

Nestled within concession NG26, Singita Elela comprises eight elevated, circular-style camps — five one-bedroom, two two-bedroom, and one grand four-bedroom unit. Inspired by the Delta’s ebb and flow, each camp is built on stilts and sculpted to complement the landscape.

The ultra-luxe four-bedroom camp is a retreat within a retreat: it features two dedicated vehicles and guides, its own host, chef, and secluded wellness sanctuary. Across all camps, guests can anticipate private pools, outdoor decks, lounges, dining spaces, mini-kitchens, and areas dedicated to wellness and fitness. Families are wholeheartedly welcomed, children of all ages are invited.

A wide variety of Delta adventures await. Activities on offer include game drives, guided bush walks, seasonal mokoro (dugout canoe) rides, boating, fishing, wine experiences, stargazing, yoga and spa treatments and even optional helicopter excursions.

True to Singita’s mission, their Elela Lodge is built with respect for place, people, and planet. The project emphasizes community partnerships and ecosystem stewardship, ensuring that the lodge’s presence nurtures, rather than diminishes, the Delta’s rich biodiversity.

For travellers longing for untouched wilderness with a touch of refined elegance, Singita Elela promises an immersive Delta escape. Stay tuned for booking details and further updates.
