An African Experience in Botswana with Desert & Delta Safaris

All the lodges are small and exclusive, and some of them are located in private concession areas only accessed in private vehicles or aircraft. Most of these properties accommodate a maximum of between 16 and 24 people. Smoking is not permitted in any of the safari vehicles, but is allowed in sections of the lodge.

The largest property, Chobe Game Lodge, is the only permanent lodge built within the Chobe National Park and has 50 rooms ( 1 family, 45 twins & 4 suites). It is a superb property for a management conference with a difference or an incentive group.

Despite the remote locations of the lodges, all the rooms (and in some cases tents), have the comforts one would expect from a modern hotel - en-suite bathrooms, walk in showers, flush toilets, and in some of the properties, air-conditioned rooms and where air-conditioning is not available, overhead fans.

The aim is to make your stay as comfortable as possible so such amenities as tea/coffee making facilities in the bedrooms and hair dryers are provided for. Each lodge is very different and this website is able to offer a choice of tented or brick and thatch accommodation depending on your preference.

Most of the lodges rely on generator power and 12 volt batteries for lighting at night, but in some cases there are permanent power via underground cables. Whatever the case, the chances are that you won't even notice!

Travelling Between the Lodges

The definitive Kruger Park safari guide Part of the excitement of visiting Desert & Delta Safaris Lodges, is the getting around! A fully integrated private air charter service is offered, operated by a subsidiary company Safari Air, which operates single engined Cessna 206's, 207's, 210's and twin engined Britten Norman Islander aircraft. Some of the lodges have their own private airstrips.

Luggage Restrictions - There is a 20kg luggage limit applicable to the charter flights between camps. 20kg luggage is the total weight for both luggage and hand luggage/camera equipment. Bags have to be small, soft sided bags. Unfortunately large suitcases and rigid, inflexible luggage cannot be transported in the aircraft.

If flying in a light aircraft is not your cup of tea, then make use of specially adapted four wheel drive vehicles for transfers to or between the lodges that can be accessed by land. For the water-based lodges in the Delta and the Chobe/Namibia areas, private powerboats are used for transfers. In fact Desert & Delta is the only safari company in Botswana to offer such a service for travel between lodges enabling for you to have a truly unique experience.

The vehicles at the lodges are either open Toyota Landcruisers carrying a maximum of 7 people or Land Rover game-viewing vehicles carrying a maximum of 9 people. All Landcruisers have individual buckets seats while the Land Rovers have bench seats. Each vehicle has a removable canvas roof enabling for shade and ample storage space for cameras, binoculars etc. The Landrovers at Chobe Game Lodge are even equipped with 12V power points for your cam recorders.
