Botswana Holiday: A Family Trip Of A Lifetime

Botswana is thought of as Africa’s best-kept secret and it’s no wonder why. With hidden gems such as the Kalahari Desert and the Okavango Delta, the country has a lot to offer.

Do you fancy exploring beautiful Botswana with your family? Find out what you can do and see at this unique family holiday destination; it’ll be a trip you and your children will never forget.


Encounter Elephants at Chobe National Park
You can’t travel all the way to Africa and not visit Botswana’s first national park. Be sure to add this to your itinerary and it’ll be something you and the children will be talking about for years afterwards. Why? Well, Chobe National Park is home to more than 100,000 elephants, so you’re guaranteed sightings of one of the most intelligent animals in the world.

Take a boat ride on the Chobe River and watch the elephants drink and splash in the water as you take in the stunning sunset views.

However, it’s not just elephants that you’ll see. Whilst Chobe National Park is renowned for its remarkable elephant population, you may see up to 15 different species whilst exploring one of Botswana’s best-loved national parks.



Witness the Wildlife and Wilderness of The Okavango Delta
A holiday in Botswana wouldn’t be complete without visiting the largest inland delta in the world: The Okavango Delta. You can take in views of herds of antelope making their way through the floodwaters, as well as other extraordinary sights, such as lion and buffalo interactions.

If you’re a keen bird watcher, this place is paradise. The delta is home to rare species such as the Pel’s fishing owl, making it the ultimate destination in Botswana to bird watch.

The Delta offers various experiences and sightings that should not be missed; it’s an adventure the whole family will love.


Visit Central Kalahari for Exceptional Game Viewing
The Central Kalahari Game Reserve is the second largest protected area in the world, so when planning your holiday to Botswana, be sure to add this to your itinerary.

The animals here are not ones that you’d traditionally associate with Botswana, therefore your experience at this reserve will be far from predictable. The diversity of game at Central Kalahari, combined with the stunning scenery, makes for a truly enjoyable trip that is like no other.
