This unique collaboration between Desert & Delta Safaris and the Salt Pans Ultra 2025 is a true celebration of Botswana’s natural beauty, offering both a physical challenge and a once-in-a-lifetime safari experience that blends luxury, adventure, and personal achievement. Don’t miss out on this Epic Experience—the ultimate challenge and reward awaits!
Desert & Delta Safaris, a trailblazer in Botswana’s luxury safari industry, is excited to announce its inaugural partnership with Salt Pans Ultra 2025.
This collaboration—a first for this incredible event—offers an opportunity for thrill-seekers to take on the ultimate endurance challenge and journey further to Botswana’s most iconic regions.
The Salt Pans Ultra 2025, set against the stunning backdrop of the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, will take place on 27th September 2025 with race distances of 50km and 100km.
Desert & Delta Safaris’ partnership now combines next-level achievement with even more reward thanks to incredible post-race packages. This is because the Salt Pans Ultra is officially the newest—perhaps most unique—member of Desert & Delta Safaris’ Epic Experiences (a collection of tailor-made itineraries designed for specialist travel).
This partnership is truly unique, combining a shared love and respect for the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, and offering athletes a special chance to merge an ultra marathon with a meaningful safari adventure.
From the Pans to the Okavango Delta, Chobe Riverfront and Moremi Game Reserve —finishing the Salt Pans Ultra 2025 doesn’t have to be the end of the adventure.
