Safari with the Kids - A Luxurious Family Holiday to Botswana

10 days from £5,750 for 2024 per person

A safari with kids can seem daunting but in Botswana, careful thought and planning has gone into making sure that the kids can be an integral part of your dream safari, whilst being safely entertained and educated at the same time. A safari with the family draws you closer as you explore and enjoy this safari paradise together and learn how to track the animals.

Ampersand’s perfect family safari begins with a short hop on a light aircraft into the Okavango and to Xigera Camp. Resembling a huge treehouse, the camp has wooden walkways through the forest and the lovely dining and sitting areas are charming and brightly furnished. The family tented suite is delightful and very spacious with plenty of room for all. There is a large decked verandah where private dinners can be arranged for the family if the kids need to eat early and a private guide can be arranged for the family too. 

Journey onwards with the kids to Machaba Camp on another light aircraft flight and into the magnificent Moremi Game Reserve. The owners of Machaba Camp have three small kids of their own so every effort has gone into making this camp pleasurable for families. The private guided vehicles and boats make game viewing a super inclusive family experience in the capable hands of your professional guide.

Last stop on this wonderful family adventure is Gomoti Plains Camp on the Western fringes of the Okavango. Walking, game drives, boating and mekoros make this a perfect adventure playground for the whole family. Superb game, outstanding bush cuisine and lovely airy family tented suites will make this a firm favourite for all the family and the fabulous wildlife found in the area is the icing on the cake!

* Please note that this tour is priced based on 2 adults and 2 children travelling: £5,130 per adult and £2,955 per child. However, this is purely a suggested itinerary and can be fully altered to your family's requirements.

Ampersand’s preparation, attention to detail and interaction before and during our trip show exactly why good travel agents have a role in today’s internet booking age. They were a delight to deal with!

I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had. Everything – from the individual care and attention in planning the trip, through to the efficiency of the agents on the ground in India – was handled brilliantly. An absolutely first-class service all round!
