Thursday, November 14, 2024 Desert & Delta, a renowned collection of luxury safari lodges across Botswana’s premier wildlife destinations, has been honored with the World Luxury Travel Award for Sustainability in 2024. This recognition celebrates the group’s unwavering dedication to sustainable tourism practices that protect Botswana’s unique landscapes and delicate ecosystems while offering exclusive safari experiences. With nine luxury lodges in its collection, Desert & Delta has committed to integrating sustainability at the core of its operations, ensuring that their impact supports conservation and benefits the environment and local communities.
Botswana, globally celebrated for its ecotourism model, implements a low-volume tourism approach that prioritizes the preservation of nature over mass tourism. Approximately 40-45% of Botswana’s land is protected for conservation or wildlife use, a testament to the nation’s dedication to environmental stewardship. Desert & Delta’s focus on sustainable tourism aligns perfectly with Botswana’s national policies and reinforces the country’s standing as a leader in conservation-minded travel.
The award from the World Luxury Travel Awards acknowledges tourism operators who address the long-term economic, social, and environmental impacts of their activities. Desert & Delta’s practices contribute to the sustainable growth of Botswana’s tourism sector, benefiting visitors, communities, and the environment alike. This.
