Our Responsibilities
Desert & Delta Safaris, established by Jessie Neil in 1982, was acquired in 1992. Initially comprising Camp Moremi, in the Moremi Game Reserve, and Camp Okavango, Desert & Delta Safaris has grown to include Savute Safari Lodge, formerly Lloyds Camp, Xugana Island Lodge and Leroo La Tau. All these historic properties were at the forefront of Botswana’s developing safari industry and bear a proud legacy.
Desert & Delta Safaris is conscious of the need to develop the human potential of the country’s citizens and a particular effort has been made to enhance skills within the company through an active and very successful skills development programme. Today a large proportion of Chobe’s management staff are citizens of Botswana.
