At luxurious Tswalu the children can become a Junior Ranger going with a specialist guide on amazing short walks and drives – even on horseback if they ride. Over three days, they learn tracking skills, medicinal uses of plants, archery and bush survival. They can discover antelope, giraffe, meerkats and big cats on this private 100,000-hectare reserve in the enormous Kalahari plains. Tswalu Lodge is superbly comfortable with amazing food, a beautiful pool and 365 days of sunshine.

The Makagikgadi Pans is an amazing semi-desert location, terrific for a family safari adventure. Go walking with San Bushmen, ride quad bikes across the desert, see meerkats, hyenas and mini migrations of zebra and antelope. Leave your comfortable base at Jack’s Camp and head off on quad bikes across the desert plains to 'Kubu Island' – where a comfortable camp is set up under a vast starry sky. Stay a night at amazing Planet Baobab Camp with the biggest pool in the Kalahari!
