The spacious rooms offer modern conveniences, including toilets, showers, and fans, all set along the lake’s edge, blending comfort with breathtaking views. Guests can relax at the full-service spa on the water, take a dip in the Delta’s only floating pool, or enjoy a drink on their private deck while soaking in the tranquil surroundings.
Experiences abound at Mopiri, from motorboat cruises through papyrus-lined channels and mokoro adventures to fishing and sunset cruises on a double-decker boat.
