**Empowering Botswana Through Tourism**

**Flight Times**
– Departure times from camps and airport hubs (Maun and Kasane) are determined by various factors such as regional flight arrivals and the number of movements between camps. Exact times are finalized the day before and will be communicated to guests in the camp.

**Flight Routing**
– Please note that guests may make up to three stops when transferring between camps via Safari Air. For direct routing, private charter flights can be booked separately.

**Handling Incorrect Luggage on Arrival**
– Guests who do not comply with the luggage guidelines may not depart on their scheduled charter and may opt for a private charter at additional costs, subject to availability.
– No refunds will be provided for missed scheduled charters or accommodations due to delays caused by non-compliance with luggage rules.

**Extra Baggage Options**
– If traveling with incorrect luggage, storage facilities are available at no additional charge at the Desert & Delta Safaris office in Maun. Alternatively, transport between Maun and Chobe Game Lodge can be pre-booked through our reservations team at a rate of U$65.00 per suitcase. Each guest is limited to one suitcase weighing no more than 23kg (50lb); additional suitcases will incur extra charges.
