Mapula

• This is your chance to explore one of the continent's most game-rich and beautiful concessions.
  
  
• Safari in complete exclusivity, away from the tourist crowds and bulging 4x4s; here it's just you, your binos, and the wildlife.
  
  
• Float down secluded waterways and access areas more remote than you can imagine on a mokoro safari.
  
  
• Game view from the cool depths of the swimming pool and watch the steady stream of wildlife at the lagoon in front of the camp.
  
  
• The guides at Mapula are some of the best in the business; trained by safari legend Ralph Bousfield, each one has an intricate knowledge of the area that's hard to beat.

Mapula, situated in the private Mapula and Sekwana Concession (NG12), perfectly encapsulates the Complete Botswana Safari Experience. This is a place where Botswana’s diverse ecosystems dance in perfect sync, bringing land, water and some of the country’s highest wildlife numbers together for a journey that feels perfectly balanced, lightly visited and ecologically explosive.

The lodge is a beautiful base and exciting launchpad. It keeps the Northern Delta’s magic close while offering countless ways to explore. Twice daily scheduled activities include game drives (by day and night), motorboat safaris (seasonal), mokoro excursions, walking safaris, fishing, birding, and cultural excursions. Private activities, Specialist Guiding, scenic helicopter flights and Epic Experiences will also be available (bookings and surcharges apply).

There will be 12 safari suites in total, 2 of which can be booked as interleading for families. Each suite will feature an en suite bathroom, a private viewing deck, and plush in-room comforts (refreshment station, wardrobe, desk, and 2 fans). Lodge facilities include covered and open-air dining settings (communal dining with private dining available on request), an elevated fire pit, swimming pool with a gazebo, a bar, curio shop, and lounge areas.

Mapula is set to open on 1 March 2027 (bookings now open).
