PHILOSOPHY

Our Philosophy

At Desert & Delta Safaris, CARES defines who we are and how we operate. Originally launched in 2017, this philosophy has grown to reflect the values we share today, building on our core commitments to people, place, and purpose. CARES is more than an acronym—it’s a commitment to our guests, our local communities, our employees, and our environment. CARES is the foundation on which Desert & Delta Safaris is built, highlighting our core values that support our sustainable tourism model.

Customers

Our customers travel with Desert & Delta seeking more than a safari; they come for a journey that will touch their lives and create lasting memories. We believe that every team member, from the guides who share local insights to the staff ensuring exceptional service, comfort, and safety, shapes these life-changing experiences. We strive to create journeys so exceptional that our travellers leave eager to return and to share their experiences with others. This shared enthusiasm fuels our ability to create more jobs and, therefore, preserve our treasured landscapes and wildlife. By placing our customers at the heart of every decision, we deliver moments that exceed expectations and create deeper connections with Africa on a holistic level. 

A

Africa

Desert & Delta Safaris is, first and foremost, a proudly Botswana-born company. Rooted in this incredible country, we are dedicated to supporting its future and sharing its wonders with visitors from around the world as we strive to grow and share our responsible tourism model across Africa. Our ownership and operations are entirely African, and we’re committed to building a tourism model that uplifts local economies and brings meaningful growth to our communities. Every step we take, from supporting local businesses to creating employment and training opportunities, reflects our dedication to the countries and people we call home.

Responsibility

We have a profound responsibility as a corporate citizen. The only safari group listed on the Botswana Stock Exchange, our impact on the local economy is greater. For Desert & Delta Safaris, this means actively giving back to the communities and environments that sustain us in every way we operate. Our investments in education, community empowerment, research, and conservation allow us to positively impact the lives of the people we work with and the lands we cherish. Through our commitment, we’re able to continue strengthening these essential initiatives and making a tangible difference. 

E

Employees

Our company thrives because of our talented and dedicated team. We’re committed to nurturing a workplace that fosters opportunity, inclusion, female empowerment, and personal growth. We want to empower each employee, helping them grow in their roles and develop their potential. Through investing in training, fair practices, and wellness programmes, we’re not just building a successful company; we’re creating a legacy of empowered, skilled individuals who will shape the future of tourism in Africa. 

S

Sustainability

Operating in some of the world’s most precious and pristine environments, we take our responsibility to minimise our impact seriously. While much of the world focuses on re-wilding efforts to restore lost natural environments, we have the privilege of safeguarding a thriving wilderness that still exists. Sustainability at Desert & Delta means ongoing efforts to reduce waste, conserve resources, and embrace renewable energy. With the help of every team member, we’re committed to preserving these wild places for generations to come, and supporting research and conservation projects that protect the diverse ecosystems we call home.
