Mapula Lodge is situated in the remote North Eastern area of the Okavango Delta, in a private concession outside the Moremi Game Reserve -
therefore allowing night game drives and walking safaris.
All the activities at this lodge, allow you to witness and experience the beauty of Africa, and guests have the added advantage of being able to able to enjoy game walks, and night drives, along with morning and afternoon drives, or mokoro excursions. Game viewing is particularly good in this area. Hippos live in the lagoon opposite the lodge, and the trees around the Lodge are home to a huge variety of birds.
Accommodation at Mapula Lodge is in 10 well appointed luxury Chalets, each with en-suite facilities (bath and shower). All chalets overlook a lagoon in front of the Lodge. The attention to detail and use of local craftsmanship in the construction of the Chalets is particularly impressive and attractive. Additional facilities include a small swimming pool and sun deck, and a well stocked bar.
Being in a permanent water area, Mapula Lodge can generally offer year round water activities, especially important during January - May when water levels in the Okavango can become too low in some areas, to allow the use of the traditional mokoro.
Client Feedback on Mapula lodge:
It was such a nice feeling being back at Mapula Lodge - the staff were so welcoming and thoughtful. They provided a surprise "wedding picnic" for lunch one day, and the staff all came one evening to sing and dance and bless the marriage (and the bride's parents!) The Okavango had had serious flooding - the land was much wetter than when I was there in January in the rainy season, but there were no torrential thunderstorms this time. Simon was our tracker again and was thrilled to see the pictures of him that I brought from my last trip there. My friend Nancy is an avid birder and got us all into the spirit of the hunt. On our last day we had 92 birds ticked off and our guide was determined to find us 8 more on the way to the airstrip...which he did!
As Nancy said, "it was the trip of a lifetime" for all of us.
