Dell joined up at Scotstoun during the summer of 2022 but injury has prevented him from pulling on a Glasgow shirt up to now.
"I'm feeling really good and ready to go," Dell told glasgowwarriors.org ahead of the squad's departure for South Africa.
"It doesn't matter how fit you feel though, your first game back is always a tough one! There's nothing quite like match fitness. It was a disappointing way to start the season for me personally, obviously; I felt really good in pre-season, and then I unfortunately picked up a calf injury just before the season got underway.
"I've been back in full training since mid-January, so I've been in and around the squad . We're in a really good space right now, everyone is stepping up and driving us forward. Everyone is getting to contribute in one way or another, so it's been great to involved and it gives you that hunger to get out there and get stuck into the action on the pitch."
