MOPIRI
On the western bank of the vast and idyllic Weboro Lagoon, nestled between palm trees and under large shady figs, Mopiri’s 10 luxury rooms all have panoramic views of the Okavango Delta.
Long winding boardwalks connect the seven luxury rooms and three family suites with the main area; the pool and the jetty give you an opportunity to explore the surroundings from an elevated position.
The seven luxury tents are spacious, light and airy with king-size beds and large private decks. All have en-suite bathrooms with double sinks and large rain showers. The bathrooms are connected to the bedrooms via a short corridor, making the most of the wonderful views across the lagoon.
The three family units are positioned on an island close by, accessed by a walkway, allowing Mopiri to welcome children of all ages. All 10 rooms are generously spaced out offering privacy and the peace and quiet needed to fully enjoy the tranquillity of the Okavango Delta.
Mopiri is surrounded by crystal clear Delta water on all sides; depending when you stay, you may be able to see hippopotamus, elephants and Sitatunga in their natural habitat.
At Mopiri you set your own pace. You may choose to spend your days exploring the Okavango Delta on one of the many activities available, or simply kicking back and enjoying the tranquil surroundings of island life.
