Desert & Delta Safaris Welcomes Celebrity Adventurer Rachel Johnson for a First-Ever Tsodilo Hills Sleep Out Experience

Following the launch of its brand-new immersive "Epic Experiences," Botswana’s leading safari operator, Desert & Delta Safaris, recently hosted journalist, broadcaster, and star of the hit Channel Four show Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, Rachel Johnson, alongside her husband Ivo Dawnay, for an extraordinary journey into the heart of Botswana’s untouched wilderness.  

Rachel was among the first to experience Desert & Delta Safaris’ exclusive Tsodilo Hills Sleep Out, a unique adventure that immerses guests in the spiritual and historical landscape of the Tsodilo Hills, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Revered as the "Mountains of the Gods" by the local San people, Tsodilo Hills holds over 4,500 rock paintings dating back thousands of years, offering an unparalleled glimpse into the region's ancient cultural heritage. The couple spent the night under the stars, surrounded by millennia-old artwork, feeling the timeless pulse of this remarkable site. 

This epic sleep-out was followed by an equally exhilarating night spent on the expansive Makgadikgadi Salt Pans—the world’s largest salt flats, which transform into a glistening dreamscape under the Botswana night sky. Desert & Delta Safaris’ Makgadikgadi Sleep Out allows guests to lie beneath vast, starlit skies, surrounded by the silence and otherworldly beauty of the pans—a stark contrast that epitomises Botswana’s incredible natural diversity.
