Travel Information

Planning your trip

Botswana is a year round wildlife destination and because of the location of the Desert & Delta Safaris’ lodges and camps, we make it easy for you to select and plan a safari to suit your needs. However, there are certain seasons that are more suitable for special interests than others.

Moving Between Camps

We offer a fully integrated private air charter service, operated by our sister company Safari Air which operates single engined Airvans, Cessna 206s and Cessna Caravans. Some of our lodges have their own private airstrips.

Unless a private charter is requested, your flight transfers have been booked on a "seat on plane" basis. Flight times are arranged according to each day's requirements and to fit in with activities, thus the plane may pick up and drop off other guests en-route to your destination. Times therefore vary from day to day and will be communicated to you the afternoon before departure. Flights to Kasane for the Chobe lodges and for Victoria Falls/Livingstone depart early to meet the scheduled road transfers; so early morning activities for guests departing on these flights are curtailed. Should you wish, private charters can be arranged, in which case you will be the only guests in the plane and you may specify your departure times. We are happy to quote separately for private charters.

For safety reasons luggage is restricted to 20kgs in soft sided bags.

Our vehicles at the lodges are either open Toyota Land Cruisers carrying a maximum of 9 people. Each vehicle has a removable canvas roof enabling for shade and ample storage space for cameras, binoculars etc.
