Botswana Safari for Families

Choosing a Botswana Safari for Families

Heading on a Botswana safari is an out of this world experience. Botswana is one of the most beautiful and captivating countries on the continent. Close your eyes and imagine the spell of water lilies permeating the air, the rare and elusive Sitatunga Antelope and learning the culture and custom of trance dancing. Track down wild dog on your safari, lion and the leopard and listen to them calling at night. Imagine yourself walking with habituated elephants, allowing their trunks to fall in the palm of your hand or even riding them, looking down across the Okavango Delta. Take your family on a Canoe Safaris and spend a couple of nights on an island, sleeping in a tent and spending the days walking. Or perhaps you would like to go on a private Botswana safari with the comfort of just your family and your guide in the best national parks and private concessions.
