Introducing Elela — Singita’s first property in the Okavango Delta

For years, Singita has dreamed of bringing its approach to conservation and hospitality to Botswana. That dream is now a reality. In this episode, we sit down with Rob Morrison, Elela’s Manager, Kemmonye Wright, Operations Manager for Singita Okavango Delta, and guide Nthophang ‘Tops’ Xani to tell the story of Elela, our first property in the Okavango Delta. From a 420,000-acre concession that shifts with the seasons to eight entirely private camps designed around freedom and flow, to a hub that invites guests into the heart of the ecosystem — Elela offers a unique and extraordinary experience. In this conversation, we explore the landscape, the experience, how Elela came to be, and what makes it unlike anything else in our collection of properties. We hope you enjoy.

Earth as Teacher, Medicines as Memory

In this episode of Conscious Conversations, Mmabatho Montse speaks with herbalist, educator, and author Atava Garcia Swiecicki about ancestral medicine, chronic illness, and the Earth as a site of healing. Rooted in the traditions of curanderismo and Ubungoma, their conversation explores how plants, dreams, and ritual serve as portals to cultural memory and collective repair. Atava shares reflections from her own healing journey and her work supporting clients through autoimmune conditions, emphasising medicine not as extractive treatment, but as ancestral remembrance. Drawing from her book The Curanderx Toolkit, she speaks to the sacred responsibility of healing and the resilience embedded in Indigenous cosmologies. This episode invites us to reimagine health as coherence, rooted in land, lineage, and spiritual continuity. https://www.ancestralapothecary.com/ Visit our website · Follow on Instagram · YouTube Channel

Reuse at the Heart of a Robust Plastics Treaty

In this episode, host Merrisa Naidoo (GAIA/BFFP Africa Plastics Program Manager) talks to Farima Tidjani (adansonia.green | Coordinator & GAIA Africa Reuse Campaigner), Marian Ledesma (Greenpeace Southeast Asia - Philippines | Zero Waste Campaigner), Miquel Roset (Retorna.org | Director & Spokesperson), and Mason Hines (PR3: The Global Alliance to Advance Reuse, RESOLVE | Senior Program Manager) about implementable solutions — reuse at the heart of a robust plastics treaty. Globally, over 300 million tons of plastic is produced, and a lot of it is for single use. We cannot escape plastic pollution, nor can we recycle our way out of this global crisis. Our planet, our economies, our health, and our communities require urgent action through long-lasting systemic approaches such as REUSE & REFILL, in order to reduce plastic production, meet our climate goals, stay within our planetary boundaries, create green jobs, and honour local knowledge.

Waste-To-Energy (WTE) Incineration is Not a Solution For Africa!

In this episode, Weyinmi Okotie, Clean Air Program Manager for GAIA Africa, talks to Mariel Vilella — GAIA’s Global Climate Program Director, Rachel Muturi — IAWP’s Africa Region Coordinator, Eskedar Awgichew — Executive Director of Eco-Justice Ethiopia, and Mikhail Aruberito — Centre for Alternative Development. Together, they dive into the complex issue of Waste-to-Energy (WTE) incineration in Africa. While incineration is often marketed as a quick fix for the continent’s waste and energy challenges, our guests unpack why it’s a false solution — one that risks deepening environmental injustice, straining public resources, and endangering community health. We also explore why Africa’s largely organic waste stream makes incineration impractical, and discuss real, people-centred alternatives that support clean air, circular economies, and resilient local livelihoods.

Conscious Travel - A Ripple Effect That Continues After Your Visit to Rwanda

Every great story is made up of many smaller ones. Ross Couper (Singita’s Resident Content Creator) chats to Martin Tuyisenge (Singita’s Community Liaison Manager) about the ripple effect of every guest’s stay on local livelihoods and conservation at Singita Kwitonda and Kataza House. Rwanda is truly a bucket list destination, for gorillas, golden monkeys, the food, and culture. But what really captures your heart is the spirit of its people. This is where Martin’s work comes in - as the Community Liaison Manager, he leads projects across six nearby villages, benefiting nearly 5,500 people. 18 years on - from schoolteacher to park ranger – he’s found his passion. Ross and Martin discuss some of the long-lasting community projects, made possible by Singita guests. Some highlights: - Rainwater tanks for 84 households and three schools - Upgrading volleyball and basketball pitches for young people - Supporting a chicken farming cooperative – contributing 800 chicks, a coup and training - Training a dance troupe (35 people) to celebrate traditional song and dance, while creating new income - Singita Community Culinary School – empowering students through culinary training. 23 students employed at Singita - Annual donation of a fully furnished house and two cows to a local family - Reforestation efforts – transforming ex-farmland to a thriving buffer zone, seeing wildlife returning - Providing access to health insurance for 2,571 people - Since 2005, every gorilla trek in Rwanda contributes 10% to communities, as well as a new tourism levy introduced in 2025. This is a ripple that continues outwards long after a Singita guest leaves Rwanda. Tune in to explore how ecotourism has the power to change lives — far beyond one gorilla trek. Singita website
