Mapula Lodge (Okavango Delta-Botswana)

Location:

Mapula Lodge is one of the newest lodges in Botswana. Situated in the seasonal flood plains of the Okavango Delta, it can offer year-round water activities, and you will have hippos for neighbours as they live in a Okavango Delta lagoon opposite Mapula Lodge.

Additional activities that you can enjoy at Modumo Lodge are African safari activities such as night game drives and walking safaris into the Okavango Delta.

Mapula Lodge was built with the intention of restoring the dwindling number of wildlife in the Okavango Delta . Thus hunting is banned around Modumo Lodge and parts of the Okavango Delta. This makes Modumo Lodge a superb location for wildlife photography trips into the Okavango Delta.
Accommodation:
 
At Mapula Lodge, you will be accommodated in one of its eight luxurious chalets built lovingly by local craftsmen.

Each of Mapula Lodge’s chalet has en suite toilet and bath facilities. Mapula Lodge’s chalets have sweeping views of the lagoons of the Okavango Delta.

Facilities:
 
Traditional design and use of natural log provide unique detail in luxurious surroundings. During the heat of the day guests may relax around our swimming pool or enjoy the beautiful view of the lagoon from our outside bar. The lounge and library are situated in the exquisite thatch and timber main building.

Hippos reside in the permanent lagoon just in front of the lodge. The large trees surrounding each unit are home to a variety of birds.
Activities / Wildlife:
 
Activities are mokoro excursions, walking safaris with experienced rangers and night drives in search of nocturnal animals. Early morning and late afternoon game drives are conducted in specially built up Toyota Landcruisers to optimize game viewing and photography.

Game in the area includes just about everything imaginable - all the Moremi game can be seen on the game drives, including tsessebe, lechwe, wildebeest, impala, waterbuck, elephant, sable and giraffe. The predators are prevalent and lion are often heard calling in the early morning. Leopard, wild dog and hyena are often sighted.

Birding in the area is excellent, especially in the spring and summer months when the migrants are breeding. To the north are the world-famous heronries which attract large numbers of breeding storks and herons. In the summer months the fishing is very good. Mainly bream (Tilapia) but there are also tiger fish. Boat trips and game drives are conducted by a team of experienced professional guides.
