Botswana Family Safari | Best Family Safari in Africa

More Details

After a night in Johannesburg, your Botswana family safari begins in the Moremi Game Reserve within the Okavango Delta. While here, stay at the intimate and well-appointed Okuti, which offers a unique African safari experience.

Over two days, head out on guided game drives to explore elephant herds, predators, and plains game. In addition, enjoy time along the waterways where hippos and birdlife thrive.

Importantly, through the camp's Young Explorers program, children receive age-appropriate activities led by a dedicated specialist guide. The program runs on a flexible schedule, allowing families to explore together while keeping younger guests fully engaged. Each child also receives a gift pack, along with a certificate upon completion.

Because the program operates at every safari camp on this journey, the experience remains consistent. It therefore enriches your family friendly safari throughout.

Then, continue deeper into the Okavango Delta to Shinde. This private concession offers a quieter safari in Botswana and excellent game viewing.

Daily activities include game drives, mokoro canoe excursions, and guided walks. Meanwhile, the Young Explorers program continues in this safari destination as well. A specialist guide remains with your family, creating interactive bush lessons, tracking activities, and conservation-focused games.

As a result, parents can relax knowing their children are learning while having fun. This consistency across camps makes this journey one of the best family safari in Africa experiences.

After three nights, transfer within the Delta to Kanana. The landscape shifts to open floodplains and permanent waterways.

Here, enjoy game drives, guided walking safaris, and seasonal boat excursions. Wildlife sightings often include elephant, lion, lechwe, and abundant birdlife.

Once again, the Young Explorers program is fully available. As a result, children continue building skills and confidence while exploring new ecosystems.

This consistency enhances the overall Botswana family vacation experience and keeps every member of the family involved.

Finally, conclude your Botswana family safari in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve at Dinaka.

The Kalahari Desert offers wide-open landscapes and excellent predator viewing. Expect sightings of lion, brown hyena, giraffe, and large herds of antelope in this exceptional national park. Day and night game drives add variety to your final days.

The lodge offers family tents that provide ample space and comfort. Meanwhile, the Young Explorers program remains available here as well. Children can participate in tracking lessons, storytelling sessions, and conservation activities suited to the desert environment.

This ensures a cohesive and well-supported Botswana family vacation from beginning to end.
