The Mapula Lodge’s location makes it one of the most exceptional places to enjoy a walking safari, and become one with nature.

Species including the cape buffalo and elephant (members of the Big Five), the fish eagle, red hornbill, and spoon-billed stork (bird species), are just some of the few creatures found throughout the lively Okavango Delta.

The Delta Camp’s dedication to the preservation of the fragile ecosystem forbids game vehicles to be present in the area. Visitors travel the same way the locals do, in dugout canoes along the Zambezi, a haven for sensational wildlife. The Delta Camp is renowned for its excellent, authentic canoe safaris and bush walks on Chief’s Island. Both the walking safari and canoe safari open tourists’ eyes to a world of unmatchable beauty. Kudu, springbok, black-backed jackal, and wildebeest, are some of the many creatures seen on these rewarding safaris. The area is also a prime location for bird viewing. Species such as vultures, goshawks, sand grouse, pied crows, and bee-eater can be found singing in the trees and flying overhead.
