Why Choose a Family Safari in Botswana? 

One of the true highlights of Botswana is its innovative approach to tourism. Its low-impact model ensures minimal disruption to the environment, with fewer guests per lodge and a more exclusive, sustainable experience. You’ll have the rare chance to immerse yourself in remote wilderness, surrounded only by the sounds of nature and vast, untamed landscapes during your Botswana safari.

A premier birding destination and a haven for wildlife lovers, Botswana offers unforgettable encounters on daily game drives, night drives, and even guided bush walks for the more adventurous.

From the elephant herds of Chobe National Park and the pristine waterways of the Okavango Delta, to the flamingo-filled Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, Botswana’s diversity is astounding. Whether exploring by 4×4, mokoro, or on foot, every moment captures the raw beauty of Africa — perfect for a family safari to remember.

Best Time to Visit Botswana for a Safari

Botswana is a land-locked country with wide, flat, and often arid landscapes, making the Okavango Delta an extraordinary wetland wonder. The dry season (April–September) is the most popular time for Botswana safaris, when wildlife viewing is at its best and the landscapes are clear and golden.
 
The green season (December–March) brings lush scenery and fewer visitors, offering quieter parks and excellent birding opportunities. Whichever season you choose, Botswana promises an unforgettable safari experience year-round.

Testimonial

Our experience with African Family Safaris was truly outstanding. They took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and went the extra mile to make it happen. We asked for a peaceful and secluded getaway, and they found us a breathtaking, off-the-beaten-path spot deep in Namibia.

Testimonial

From start to finish, this safari was unforgettable. The team really took the time to understand what kind of experience we were after—and then somehow managed to make it even better. We wanted something immersive and close to nature, and what we got was breathtaking landscapes, intimate wildlife encounters, and incredibly warm hospitality. Every lodge, guide, and detail felt carefully chosen. It wasn’t just a holiday—it was something we’ll be talking about for years to come.
