Why Choose Botswana for your Family Safari?

South Africa is the regional hub for Botswana, so there are a multitude of options for your international travel. From there it is less than two hours to Maun in northern Botswana. We will transfer you between lodges by light aircraft so you can travel from a delta to a desert in under an hour and enjoy an eagle’s eye view as you go. We time the flights between safaris so that you don’t miss out on the action.

Most of the Okavango Delta and other prime wildlife regions have been set aside as large, private reserves, which are leased to responsible safari operators on strict conditions. The conditions are designed to protect the environment and the wildlife. These limit the number of visitors, the way the lodges are constructed, and the activities that are allowed. You visit with a “light footprint” and can expect a very exclusive experience.

A wide variety of safari activities is possible on these private reserves. Depending on the time of year and rules, you can walk, take a mokoro canoe, a boat trip along glistening waterways or ride horseback. Each activity provides its unique perspective on the wildlife and your surroundings. Of course, there are also exciting game drives in open sided vehicles. We encourage families to have their own private vehicle, allowing you the greatest freedom.

On these private reserves, a lodge must be constructed so that it leaves virtually no trace when it is taken down. Few lodges accommodate more than sixteen guests and some take as few as six. They are often built on a network of raised wooden decks, giving a spectacular, elevated view when you are in your accommodation or moving around. They are luxurious and ingeniously constructed.
