Botswana is one of those places that gets under your skin – wild, remote, and totally unspoiled. It’s perfect for getting properly off the beaten track and feeling like you’ve found the the heart of Africa. The wildlife here is incredible, and the sense of space and silence is something you just can’t describe until you’re there.

We love the Okavango Delta for its peaceful mokoro canoe trips and walking safaris with older children. Chobe is a dream for elephant lovers, especially from the water on a boat safari, and Moremi gives you the best of both land and water. For something truly different, you can quad bike across the shimmering pans of Makgadikgadi, meet meerkats, and even sleep out under the stars.

Walking with the San Bushmen is one of our favourite experiences – it’s hands-on, fascinating, and brings the ancient ways of the Kalahari to life for children in the most meaningful way. Conservation is a big part of travel here too, and we’ll help you find places where your kids can track rhino or chat with the people protecting these wild spaces, unforgettable and impactful.
