Mapula Offers Guests Unforgettable Game Drives and Mokoro Safaris All From This Luxury Safari Lodge

Mapula Lodge is found in the northern region of Botswana's famed Okavango Delta (not far from the famed Selinda Spillway) on a large tree island surrounded by floodplains, woodlands and channels. It is here that one gets the chance to witness amazing game viewing, wildlife and birdlife on either open 4x4 safaris or boating safaris.

A truly magical destination for game viewing and wildlife sightings in the game rich Okavango.

For us here at Uyaphi.com, it is the fact that Mapula Lodge offers an uncrowded safari experience far away from the nearest lodge as well as the pricing point that makes this lodge a great option for our clientele.

*NOTE: Mapula Lodge is now under the same management team (Natural Selection) that runs San and Jacks Camps in the Kalahari and therefore is up to similar stands.

Rooms and Suites

Nine spacious tented and thatched suites at Mapula Lodge offer up beautiful views, king-sized four-poster beds draped with mosquito nets and, of course, en-suite bathroom facilities with indoor and outdoor showers.

The decor of all suites is "safari-chic" with rich Kilims, polished butler trays and brass lanterns. Spacious wooden viewing decks are a great place to spend a few hours viewing the surrounding birdlife and wildlife.

Nine Mapula suites consist of the following;

• Six twin bed suites
• Two double bed suites
• One family suite

Cuisine and Wine

Mapula Lodge offers indoor as well as outdoor dining options; both options are dependent on how the weather is behaving. The open-air bar is the spot for ice-cold beer and cool drinks, as well as a fine selection of wines.

A "Fly Dinner" experience is an option; a three-course dinner under the African stars far away from Mapula in the heart of the Okavango - is a must-do when staying here.

Lodge Facilities

The central guest area at Mapula Lodge offers guests beautiful views out over the surrounding Okavango Delta from the lounge area, bar area and indoor dining area, either from the thatched area or outdoor wooden deck area.

The swimming pool at Mapula is found a few steps away from the central area, and it is here where one can escape the heat of Botswana.

The decor is of an upmarket lodge with bright colours, great views, comfy sofas and slouchy armchairs all wrapped up in a wooden and thatched theme. Very typical of a modern, comfortable safari lodge.

Unfortunately, due to the location of Mapula, WiFi and Cell phone coverage is not available.

Safari Activities

Wildlife and birdlife game viewing are without question the main attractions of the area surrounding Mapula Lodge. Lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant, hippo and the rare sitatunga antelope are particular highlights of the area in terms of wildlife, while Pel’s fishing owl and the African skimmer are the stars of the show when one is into birding.

• Morning and afternoon game drives
• Traditional mokoro safaris (subject to water levels)

• Sunset drinks overlooking the Okavango waterways
