MAPULA LODGE, Botswana: In an exclusive Botswana safari camp where Prince Harry took Meghan Markle on a romantic getaway last year, guests wake to the sound of doves cooing in the trees and hippos splashing in the serene waters of the Okavango Delta. Harry sourced the diamond in Meghan’s engagement ring from Botswana, the world’s biggest producer. At Mapula Lodge, an isolated $800-a-night retreat that translates as “mother of rain”, Harry and Meghan slept in a traditional thatched cabin with an outdoor shower, their carved wooden bed looking out over a pristine lagoon. Harry caught a sharped-toothed catfish as he and Meghan shared a joke, one onlooker said. Botswana is popular with the rich and famous because of the privacy and isolation its top end lodges offer.
