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.

What our travellers say
From the start of our holiday search we have had a great experience. Lisa and Nadine pointed us gently in the right direction for our specific needs and they were absolutely on the money and reassured us at every point. Everything was smooth and our Safari experience in both Pilanesberg and Madikwe was absolutely perfect. All in all we were very happy with our choice to use African Family Safaris. We felt safe and relaxed and loved every moment. Thank you!
We went on a 10-day trip through Botswana with African Family Safaris and were completely thrilled. The trip was perfectly organized from start to finish – we didn't have to worry about a thing and were able to enjoy the safari to the fullest.
The lodges were excellently chosen: beautifully located, comfortable, and ideal for experiencing Botswana's nature up close. We can wholeheartedly recommend African Family Safaris and would travel with them again anytime.
My husband and I chose South Africa and Zimbabwe for our honeymoon. We simply spoke to Gareth at African Family Safaris to explain a little bit about ourselves and what we were looking for. He created a custom package for us, much better than we would have created ourselves.
Thank you African Family Safaris for an incredible honeymoon - we will undoubtedly be back for more of Africa!
To say the least, it was a very exciting and exclusive, and we were well taken care of by the entire crew.
I wish we had more time, and more animals, but this will always be never enough 🙂
We were quite late in planning our safaris… actually we arrived in Cape Town without any plan… Lisa and her colleagues from African Family Safaris planned a tailored itinerary for us in 24 hours spanning from Kruger to Victoria Falls, Chobe and Okavango Delta. Accommodation was great, the guides were very knowledgeable, and transportation was impeccable. We had wonderful experiences and we are looking forward going back to Africa! Thank you again Africa Family Safaris!
I used African Family Safaris for my cousin travelling to Africa. Just a great experience all round! Professional, full of ideas and options, communication was clear and quick, and best of all the lodges / experiences that my cousin experienced will last them a lifetime!
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.
African Family Safaris was amazing! We told them we wanted somewhere quiet and off the beaten path, and they absolutely nailed it. They found us the perfect hidden spot in Namibia — peaceful, beautiful, and just what we hoped for. Everything was well organized, and the whole trip felt really special. Couldn’t have asked for more!
If you want a trip that's fit to your style, its this. It was really cool! Big fan of well-organized trips, even when plans go sideways sometimes. But for this one, I was genuinely impressed and so glad I was part of it. So if you can, go for it. 5/5.
Our luxury safari with African Family Safaris was nothing short of extraordinary. From easy planning to exclusive, high-end lodges and expert private guides, every detail was handled with impeccable care and sophistication. We experienced Africa’s breathtaking wildlife in complete comfort and style, with personalized touches that made the journey truly unforgettable.
We felt genuinely cared for at every step—this was luxury travel at its finest: authentic, immersive, and flawlessly executed.
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.
My family have been planning an African safari for three years - a bucket list trip - we wanted something a bit off the beaten path so we would have a more boutique experience and in Namibia. African Family Safari put together an unbelievable itinerary and our kids will be talking about this trip the rest of their lives. Exactly what we had hoped! Wholeheartedly endorsed!
African Family Safaris went above and beyond to craft an unforgettable experience. From the very start, they took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for—something peaceful and off the beaten path.

Every detail of the trip was thoughtfully planned, from the location to all services. It felt like every moment was crafted just for us.
The landscapes were breathtaking, the accommodations were intimate and luxurious, and the sense of tranquility was exactly what we needed. A big thanks to African Family Safaris Team!
We had the most amazing family experience. From initial conversation through to the support mid-trip. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me and the family; but I want to do it all again.
Gareth understood our requirements (and budget) exactly and delivered the most amazing experience for us.
We had an absolutely excellent experience with African Family Safaris and Tours!

They provided the best advice for our travel arrangements and made sure everything was perfectly planned.
Their communication throughout the entire journey was detailed, reassuring, and truly put us at ease. Thank you for making our trip smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free! Highly recommended! 😀
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.
