Botswana Family Safari

Hand Selected Family-Friendly Safari itineraries In And Around Botswana For The Ultimate Adventure Suitable For Families Of All Ages

Our portfolio of family safaris in Botswana includes carefully chosen destinations, camps, and lodges designed to offer unforgettable adventures. Wildlife highlights include the Okavango, Chobe National Park, Chobe River, Makgadikgadi Pans, and the Kalahari Desert.

Family-friendly safaris let parents and children bond through game drives; nature walks, shared meals, or relaxing by a pool. These safaris are safe, fun, and educational while providing thrilling adventures.

Travelling with young children in Africa can feel daunting, but with proper planning, it’s an enriching experience. Here are tips for planning your family safari:

  • Choose age-appropriate wildlife activities for your children.
  • Select Botswana family-friendly lodges or camps. Consider if you need interleading suites or are comfortable with kids sharing your room.
  • Look for babysitting options or a games room.
  • Check camp safety—are camps fenced or unfenced?
  • Learn about local culture and customs before your trip.
  • Consider malaria's presence and its impact on your plans.
  • Game drives are 3-4 hours long—if your kids can’t sit that long, a private game drive vehicle may be better.

The best time for a Botswana safari is June to October, during the dry season. This peak tourism period offers warm, sunny weather, which is ideal for game viewing and stunning landscapes.

Finally, note the difference between child-friendly and child-tolerant options—only a few companies provide truly family-friendly itineraries. Our Africa travel experts will craft a bespoke safari itinerary tailored to your family’s needs for a memorable Botswana adventure.
