Nestled in the wild and untouched wilderness of the African savannah is a luxury wildlife paradise. Founded in 1982, Desert and Delta Safaris is on a mission to foster a sustainable ecotourism model, bridging the gap between humans and nature without disrupting the sacred life cycle of the African savannah. Their highly trained guides invite visitors on an unparalleled journey through the African wilderness, offering up-close encounters with large predatory wildlife, including lions, leopards, zebras, and elephants. Guests can choose from 10 different safari opportunities that weave through the various regions of the surrounding area with their all-inclusive luxury packages. The safari tours throughout the surrounding territory range from four to 10-night excursions.
The luxury camps provide the perfect blend of modern living and authentic outdoor adventure. Each location site was specially curated to sit in the heart of where all the activity occurs in this region. Desert and Delta now manage properties in some of the most exotic and remote regions of Botswana, including the Moremi Game Reserve, Makgadikgadi Pans National Park, the Okavango Delta, and Chobe National Park. Not only does the brand focus on sharing the natural serenity of Botswana with visitors from around the globe, but the global mission has just as large of an impact in their hometown by creating new job opportunities and supporting local communities. There’s no better place to spend an all-inclusive vacation than in the African safari, drenched with populous flora and fauna!
Explore the wild, untamed wilderness of Botswana
Desert and Delta Safaris’s Four Night Moremi and Boteti Package offers up-close and personal encounters with the country’s indigenous inhabitants — a rare and intimate experience! The journey is split between Leroo La Tau and Camp Moremi. The Boteti River, which is part of the larger Makgadikgadi Pans National Park, borders the region where the annual zebra migration occurs. Guests spend the second half of the excursion at Camp Moremi, one of several luxury safari camps. Located in the Moremi Game Reserve, professional guides point out exotic wildlife species, ranging from wild leopards and impalas to herds of African elephants and prides of lions.
The Six night Savute and Delta Green Season Discovery occurs during the savannah’s green season, which falls between late October to March. The excess rain in the region beckons mammals in the Savute marshlands to venture further along the channels, creating the perfect opportunity to view apex predators up close in their natural habitat. The damp grasslands of the channel were once part of a large inland sea, yet today, they provide a bountiful hunting range for predators. Today, they’re known for housing large populations of elephants, cheetahs, leopards, and wild dogs.
The back half of the trip is spent at the lodges in the Okavango Delta. The waterways and channels of the Okavango Delta have been described as “the jewel of Kalahari” and one of the best locations to spot African wildlife. Papyrus swamps and lagoons are home to everything from hippos and gazelles to various species of exotic birds.
A luxury, all-inclusive African safari experience
Guests who are looking for a true taste of the wild should consider the Six Night Best of Desert and Delta Safari trek. This epic safari route criss-crosses the African savannahs, starting from the Moremi Game Reserve and ending at Chobe National Park. Days one and two are spent exploring the Moremi Game Reserve, followed by two days in the Okavango Delta. Boating excursions, guided night drives, and bush walks allow guests to leave the reserve with a local’s perspective of this region of Botswana. The best is saved for last on this safari excursion, with the final two days spent in the Savute Savage Kingdom in Chobe National Park. Featured in National Geographic’s mini series, “Savage Kingdom”, this thriving wildlife oasis is one of the best destinations to view wild game in action.
The various safari camps and lounges provide a modern, organic sanctuary in the heart of Botswana’s vibrant hunting grounds. Inside the thatched chalets, spacious living quarters, luxurious amenities, and a neutral color palette create an airy and open space to rest and rejuvenate after a long day in the arid grasslands. Private balconies, al fresco dining areas, and pool loungers give each of Desert and Delta’s camps a posh look without stripping the beauty of the natural landscape. Panoramic views of the surrounding savannah are visible from nearly any point in camp to ensure guests don’t miss a thing!
