Safari summary
A safari created for families to experience the best Botswana has to offer. Its aimed not only at children’s enjoyment but their parents alike. With fantastic accommodation in three vastly different regions accepting children of all ages, this is the perfect Botswana family safari.
The safari starts from Kasane Airport in the north-east of Botswana, making it perfectly accessible from Victoria Falls or directly by flight from Johannesburg. From the airport you will head straight into Chobe National Park where the game viewing begins as you make you way to your accommodation for the next 2 nights.
The lodge being situated within the park gives you a huge head start to game viewing by vehicle and maximises your time in the afternoons. Fantastic boating opportunities along the Chobe river in the afternoons come highly recommended as thousands of elephants and plains game gather to drink. After your time in Chobe a transfer drive will take you back to Kasane airport where a charter flight awaits to take you to the famous Khwai region of the Okavango Delta. Spend 3 nights in the Khwai Community Reserve in a family friendly lodge that offers accommodation in fixed structures as opposed to canvas tents for added peace of mind when travelling with small children.
The Khwai community concession allows for off-road driving and night driving so your opportunity for wildlife viewing is enhanced greatly. You also have the option to take a daytrip drive into the Moremi Game Reserve for those wishing to cover more ground. The Khwai area is home to a very healthy population of predators including lions, leopards, wild dogs and hyenas. After your time in Khwai another charter flight will take you to your final accommodation on the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. Spend 2 nights here as you explore the fascinating Kalahari and salt pans habitat with a mix of exceptional activities including the must-do meerkat visit! This will be a sure hit with the kids and a great way to spend the final 2 nights on your safari in Botswana. From the Pans, another charter will have you landing at Maun airport for onward connections.
Perfect for families of all sizes with children of all ages, this trip takes you to three incredible but vastly different regions of northern Botswana: The Chobe river, the Okavango Delta & the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans!

Chobe Safari Experience
Chobe
The wildlife viewing in Chobe is remarkable at all times of the year but is particularly dense with wildlife in the drier parts of the year. One downside of this region however, is that is can be very crowded during the peak safari season
