The attention to detail and use of local craftsmanship in the construction of the Chalets is particularly impressive and attractive. The units all boast a small lounge and a full bathroom (with bathtub and outside shower). Game viewing is particularly good in this area, and the trees around the Lodge are home to a huge variety of birds.
Being in a permanent water area, Mapula Lodge can offer year round water activities, especially important during January - May when water levels in the Okavango can become too low in most area’s to allow the use of the traditional mokoro. Walking safaris with experienced guides, night drives in search of nocturnal animals. In the early morning and late afternoons game drives are conducted in comfortable safari vehicles.

Ramakoba better known in the safari industry as “Doctor” joined Mapula Lodge from Kwando Safaris. “Doctor” has been appointed as principal guide to Mapula Lodge. Using his incredible bush talents he immediately proved his worth by discovering a active wild dog den. The den consists of 5 adults with 6 puppies aged at 1 to 2 months old. The Mapula Lodge area is “home” to Doctor who grew up in a remote village adjacent to this large concession. Good news is that we do still have some very limited space at Mapula for those wild dog enthusiasts.
